In Scott Adams' book, "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big," he explores the idea that many people do not rely on logical reasoning when making significant decisions. Instead of using reason as a guiding principle, individuals often base their choices on emotions or other irrational factors. This disconnect can lead to feelings of confusion and frustration for those who expect others to think rationally.
Adams argues that if one assumes that logical reasoning is the primary driver of human decision-making, they may struggle to understand the choices that others make. This belief can create a sense of disillusionment, as many people appear to lack the reasoning skills one might expect. The author suggests that recognizing this difference can help alleviate some of the frustration in interpersonal interactions.
