So, the fundamental attribution error tells us that everyone is doing things for reasons that adhere to an internally consistent story... does this tell us that we are all making up that internally consistent story as we go, with little to no understanding of the true influences to our decision making? At some point, we all believe that we can improve our decision making ability- thats would seem to be why we are all here. Is the important take away here that we need to constantly review our actions before we take them, to make sure they are rational?
In the broadest strokes, yes.
I'm going to note my dissent and write more when I have some time.
