NDE again

Well here is Wiki jam packed with referencing my sources.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-impact_hypothesis

But that is not the question I have this morning, wiki versus AI ?Why because you asked me for references, who do I trust, and my conclusion so far is AI, I trust a damn computer more than a human, oh dear!

Do computers lie...

The "lazy brain theory" suggests our brains are wired to conserve energy and effort, relying on shortcuts and mental heuristics to make decisions quickly, which can lead to biases and irrationality.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Energy Conservation:
The brain prioritizes minimizing effort and maximizing efficiency, a strategy that evolved to help our ancestors survive by conserving resources.
Heuristics and Biases:
To achieve this, the brain uses mental shortcuts (heuristics) and relies on pre-existing knowledge and biases to make quick decisions.
Implications for Decision-Making:
This "laziness" can lead to snap judgments, confirmation bias (favoring information that confirms existing beliefs), and resistance to new ideas or information that requires more effort to process.
Examples:
The Dress: The famous "dress" online phenomenon, where people perceived the color differently, highlights how the brain can rely on visual shortcuts and biases.
Resisting New Ideas: People may resist new ideas or innovations because the brain finds it easier to stick to familiar patterns and avoid the effort of processing something new.
Lazy-Brain Labeling: The tendency to label others with "lazy-brain" thinking can lead to division and a lack of empathy, as it can be a shortcut to understanding complex situations.
Overcoming Lazy Thinking:
To counter the "lazy brain," it's important to actively engage in critical thinking, challenge our biases, and seek out diverse perspectives.
The Role of AI:
The rise of AI and language models (LLMs) raises concerns about whether we are becoming too reliant on technology to do the thinking for us, potentially further hindering our cognitive abilities.


Guilty yer honour on all counts, and you have mentioned this before "critical thinking" but then I am a lazy bar steward

Gonnagle.

Science exists to refute dogmas;

nevertheless, dogmas may be introduced when undemonstrated scientific axioms lead us to reject facts incompatible with them.
