Summary
Another episode in our series of episodes about human cognitive biases.In this one, I talk about Cognitive load, which is an overarching phenomenon that affects our moment-to-moment state of being and thus, affects our ability to make decisions, to understand and process information - in short, it affects how we think. And hence, being aware of it is important.I also briefly touch upon the need for meditation, and why it is something that everyone should incorporate in their everyday lives.This episode is as everyday-life as it gets when it comes to pragmatic philosophy, wisdom and understanding.
