One benefit of accepting that the brain functions on heuristics is that you may embrace learning techniques that lean into this.
E.g.: the narrative heuristic.
Bad: cognitive bias when interpreting data.
Good: embed lessons in a story to remember those lessons better.

I've been thinking about how to write about this. Will probably need a couple more months of experimentation, though.
