The Enigma of Reason

by Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber

Mercier and Sperber argue that reason didn't evolve to find truth on your own but to produce and evaluate arguments with other people — which turns confirmation bias from a design flaw into a predictable feature: we're lazy at building our own case and sharp at spotting holes in everyone else's. The most important counterweight to the biases-and-heuristics shelf.
