so sorry

I just read the review I wrote yesterday, and I'm terribly sorry.

I completely missed teling the whole point of the book, which was how the brain can make split-second decisions about things (especially things you could be considered "expert" in). These quick thoughts can be useful or harmful. Useful, because they can bypass the uncertainty that can come with too much information and cerebrating about something. Harmful, because they are often based on unconscious stereotypes.

So read it anyway, despite my inept reviewing skills.

I've seen the author on Bill Maher. He sounds smart.

the book is smart. Or at least my poor battered brain thought so.
