> There's pretty convincing evidence that even human brains tend to make decisions first then rationalize them after. Does rationalize here mean "deduce that a supporting argument would exist", or does it mean "actually determine what that argument is"? Like imagine if the brain is solving an approximate (or different) problem first, deducing that there's a solution that's very likely to be feasible for the original problem, then working out all the details afterward. Is that rationalizing after the fact or before the fact?
