Intulexia: No matter how neutral we think we are when first tackling a decision, we always decide — adult intuitively — on an alternative right away, making us subject to this trap virtually at all times.
What can we do about it?
Exposeing ourself to conflicting information. Examine all evidence with equal rigor. Don’t be soft on disconfirmatory evidence. Know what you are about: Searching for alternatives or looking for reassurance!
Get a devil’s advocate. Find someone we respect to argue against the decision we’re contemplating making. If you can’t find one, build the counterarguments ourself. Always consider the other positions with an open mind.
Don’t ask leading questions. When asking for advice, make neutral questions to avoid people merely confirming our biases. “What should I do with my meditation?” works better than “Should I change my practice today?”
