When a pesky insect infestation is threatening a farmer’s hard-earned harvest, he sprays the crop with pesticide, killing (most of) them in an instant. What a glorious win of man against nature!

We are humans, and humans sometimes make mistakes. We make hundreds of decisions on a daily basis, and sometimes those decisions are not entirely based on rationality, but on cognitive biases.
