5. (2 pts.) [Adapted from the “Exercise” on pp. 55-56] From what you have read in Ch. 1, present a list of FIVE things you personally could do to protect yourself from the dangers of heuristics and biases. This will include ways to prevent poor decision-making in groups; protection from those who will deliberately deploy persuasion techniques in order to influence us, and ways to assist the management of our emotional responses to arguments. Some recommendations have been explicitly included in the chapter and some are implied, but there will be others that you will be able to think of yourselves on the basis of the chapter’s content. Please be somewhat descriptive regarding how you would actually implement the things on your list.
