The lost aviator

We live in times of seemingly unending progress - and yet somehow things still always go wrong: trains are late, broadband speeds suck and the promotion always goes to the wrong person. Well, it turns out there's an explanation for all this - and progress itself is the problem. Meet The Peter Principle. The Peter principle assumes that people are promoted because they are competent, and that the task higher up in the hierarchy require skills or talent that they do not possess. It concludes that due to this, a competent employee will eventually be promoted to, and remain at, a position at which he or she is incompetent. https://youtu.be/-ZDdxYBaFsw

One of the most important reasons about finding out how the mind works, is that you can know how to avoid making some mistakes. The most important ones related to aviation accidents. In this video Professor Daniel Kahneman, eminent psychologist,  explores the brain and describes two systems. System one is immediate, easy, effortless, creates stories based on ideas not facts because it is associative, and therefore it is prone to error. On the other hand, system two is effortful, tiring, needs procedures to resolve problems and is, at the same time, lazy and endorses system one, even without checking whether system one is correct or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjVQJdIrDJ0
