Harari draws on Kahneman's cognitive bias research to argue that human decision-making is fundamentally irrational, undermining the Enlightenment assumption of the rational individual.

Kahneman's dual-process model is discussed at length in Chapter 10 on wisdom. Thomson explains how System 1 and System 2 thinking underpins cognitive biases and decision-making, and notes how the model has become "one of the most widely accepted ideas in psychology" since the book's publication.
