• Resumen

  • The author discusses the "logic-tight compartments" of human brain function, arguing that instead of developing seamlessly integrated and consistent views about the world, humans compartmentalize modules that are sometimes at odds with one another. Topics include cognitive dissonance, motivated reasoning, and the maintenance of beliefs despite evidence.
