![Text from Wikipedia stating: Given the limited information processing capabilities of individuals, people try to adopt strategies that economise complex problems. Cognitive misers usually act in two ways: by disregarding part of the information to reduce their own cognitive load, or by overusing some kind of information to avoid the burden of finding and processing more information.
Other psychologists also argue that the cognitively miserly tendency of humans is a primary reason why "humans are often less than rational".[3] This view holds that evolution has made the brain's allocation and use of cognitive resources extremely embarrassing. The basic principle is to save mental energy as much as possible, even when it is required to "use your head".[21] Unless the cognitive environment meets certain criteria, we will, by default, try to avoid thinking as much as possible.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3nutb2fzu7htftarc2u4ypps/bafkreichsbzfflllikucor2poqvdq7w3wkpt6ee7lrij76hi4s6ld5yk5y)
