Theses are all biases. The real skill is to be able to recognise when we are falling back to these biases and to learn to collect data to get the best person, pay for performance etc. yes biases are “natural” but that doesn’t make them right or useful. They are simply a neurobiological method of avoiding cognitive overload.

I am fearful more than anything of society losing its sense of humour. (The BBC has lost theirs). Of the to and fro of acceptable banter becoming a criminal offence. Of real meeting of minds between the sexes disappearing.
Oh what an awful world that would be.
