Framers
Human Advantage in an Age of Technology and Turmoil
Summary:
The book explores the concept of "framing" as a cognitive tool that humans use to structure information and make decisions in a complex world. It argues that this ability to create mental models and adapt them to changing circumstances is a unique human advantage, particularly important in an era of rapid technological change and societal upheaval.
Key points:
1. Causal Inference: Understanding causality is key for effective decision-making, as it helps predict outcomes and devise strategies, beyond just seeing correlations.
