the human brain may just use Bayesian statistics
The art in using Bayesian statistics is properly choosing and weighting priors, which might explain (assuming your theory is correct) why some people consistently make better decisions than others.
Note also that computers are good at doing stupid things fast, while people are better at doing complex things slowly. Use the right tool for the job.
- ntoshev 18y agocomputers are good at doing stupid things fast, while people are better at doing complex things slowly It's a good rule of thumb, reflecting our current ability to use computers. I'm looking at the problem from scientific perspective, not trying to get things done. why some people consistently make better decisions than others You don't have to look that deep to explain this. These people should just have better understanding of the domain. I don't think there are data saying some people are consistently better than others across domains. If such data exist (wink), you could say they have better modeling of the world in general.
