Not judging quickly is harder than most of us realize. Our brains are built to judge quickly. We aren’t scientific and logical by nature, slowly building evidence until we reach a conclusion. Our brains are shortcut machines and will leap straight to what they think is the likeliest answer. And throughout evolution this served us well because big brains are very resource intensive so they literally can’t brute force everything. Intuition and shortcuts are the name of the game, and judgments just have to be “good enough” not complete, accurate, and fair.
Comment on Anyone get this?
0ops@piefed.zip 6 days agoFor sure, I’ve definitely ran into a few people that just came off as too friendly in a way that seemed, idk, shallow and cocky I guess. Think Hank Scorpio but not necessarily with the money. And sometimes I’m pretty much right, they’re just jerks that like the “good guy” aesthetic but abandon it at the first sign of somebody not buying it, but other times they’ve turned out to be good and genuinely really friendly people. So I try not to judge too quickly.

You mean the only good billionaire?
Sure he sized the eastern seaboard, but he cared deeply about his employees physical and mental wellbeing. Also took on the US government with a flamethrower.
