Helping build the world that we co-inhabit may be, for many of us, inevitable to some degree. Constructing our spaces can feel emotionally rewarding. At times our contributions to where and how we live can also come hand in hand with an inflated belief in our know-how and safety. At the same time, believing that we can do things well can also contribute to our willingness to try new things and to keep going when something may be difficult for us. What inspires you to contribute to your built world?

Human cognition, emotion, and motor function are not computational processes. Our brains, hearts, and bodies are living, dynamic, evolving wonders. To that end, scientists have described and studied a dazzling variety of specific cognitive biases. This work helps illuminate a vast, multifaceted landscape of statistically meaningful ways that brains are ultimately not computers. At the same time, science has yet to do extensive study of emotive and motor biases that likely can also originate from the significant cluster of neurons in the heart and in the gut. Yet all told, we understand that the biopsychosocial experience of being human is fallible, predictably unpredictable, mutating, and, well, human.

[image description: A heart with a large smile and arms thrown up in triumph sits in an ugly chair that appears poorly constructed with three legs. There are nails sticking out of the chair's back and the heart holds a hammer. Text reads: "IKEA Effect: The tendency to give higher merit to objects that we helped assemble."]
