"Are We Too Impatient to Be Intelligent?", behavioral scientist Rory Sutherland argues that our increasing reliance on technology and efficiency has led to a dangerous bias towards speed, often sacrificing human values and preferences for the sake of optimizing systems. Sutherland uses examples of how our perception of time is subjective and how efficiency can sometimes be detrimental, highlighting the need to prioritize human experience and recognize that slower, more inefficient approaches can be beneficial. He also criticizes the tendency to simplify decision-making by relying on algorithms that ignore human psychology and fail to recognise the value of ambiguity, ultimately advocating for a more thoughtful and nuanced approach to technology and decision-making.
