Summary of John Pollack's Shortcut
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The human brain is capable of comparing and abstracting patterns, even those that have nothing to do with each other. People are able to identify and compare domains that have nothing to do with each other except for a common, abstract intellectual scaffolding that they themselves construct.
#2 Analogy is a fundamental part of human decision making. We are capable of making comparisons that go beyond the superficial, and this is what allows us to identify and exploit conceptual similarities that go beyond the obvious.
#3 The brain works like this: it evaluates a flood of incoming data for its relevance and utility in a wide range of cause-and-effect narratives, and uses them to inform its decision making.
#4 Analogy is a type of model that can take on virtually limitless forms. It is used to help us predict the future, explore the ramifications of different retirement plans, or estimate how fast climate change might increase sea levels.
