We live in the world of limiting attitudes: black-white, good-bad, or one or another. But how can we be sure that the boundaries that we are erected are justified? Dr. Kevin Datton, psychologist-research by Oxford University, explains why we are used to thinking in categories and how to avoid brain traps that distort our reality and make vulnerable to manipulations.
