I will argue that some biases are the consequence of structural properties of the brain, which ‘cannot’ be affected by evolution
The biases are indirectly affected by evolution. The brain evolved “faulty thinking” because natural constraints put a premium on accuracy—especially when sometimes-accurate beliefs are sufficient.
