“We can be blind to the obvious, and we are also blind to our blindness.”
By Daniel Kahneman in his book “Thinking, Fast and Slow”
There is a fundamental truth about the human mind - our tendency to overlook the obvious and remain unaware of our own blind spots.
It's a friendly reminder that our perception is not always as accurate as we think.
In our daily lives, we often come across situations where the solution or answer is right in front of us, but we fail to see it.
This can stop us from seeing what is right in front of us, leading to missed opportunities and flawed decision-making.
By understanding cognitive pitfalls, we can become more aware of our own limitations and take steps to reduce them.
The quote reminds us of the importance of being humble and reflective. It challenges us to question our assumptions, challenge our beliefs, and actively seek different perspectives.
By recognizing our blind spots and embracing intellectual curiosity, we can develop a more accurate and complete understanding of the world around us.
