This book
reminds me of "The Elephant and The Rider", as there are different
aspects that play their roles on our decisions and human is more complicated
that just being a creature of logic. And those aspects will continue playing
roles on us. We can mention mothers and some other people who love somebody to
support the idea but if you watch the film 'I, Robot', there is a perfect
example there to support the idea.
There is an
interesting question on the book worth discussion. The question that stays in
the middle between 'conventional' and 'behavioral' economics;
'Should we view the
field of economics from the perspective of 'how people behave' or 'how they
should behave'.
Sometimes you get
surprised to see some scientists or experts in some fields discussing. For the
above-mentioned question you want to say 'what about the balance or
moderate/middle way'. As some people say that devil shows you two variant and
asks you to choose one of them, there are some other variants or at least the third
one to choose from.
Firstly, we should
sometimes look into matters in simpler ways. Secondly, we should put the
compulsory parts in the centre, keep them in front of us and decide on others
according to the basics. About the famous pilot's mistake mentioned in the book
'Sway', what's the compulsory part/idea? Of course, passengers' lives. So,
don't take any risks about the vital parts. But the pilot put the fame of the
company into the first place and the consequence was terrible. First things are
first. I think the solution is to know or not to forget at the time of decision
what the basic thing(s) is/are or what matters most.
