How rational am I?

The talk outlines the many deficits of human rationality that have been identified over the last five decades. It then describes work in sample domains ranging from everyday informal argument, through testimony and social networks, to decision making. This work seeks not only to shed light on human behaviour in these domains but to illustrate the reasons why the often bleak picture of human rationality painted by past research is not as settled as typically assumed.
