Dan Ariely: Beware conflicts of interest (script)
Summary
Someone you know said that he/she prepares something for you. What do you intuitively think? You will be glad at least, at first. "Someone who you know," "for you," and "your first impression" fascinate you. These incentives blind you. It's leading you to be wrong. This is an example and the mechanism which you believe in your intuition and why you fail.
People essentially believe in their intuition which is wrong. If we know how to fix this mechanism, we will have new hope. Beware conflicts of interest until that.
