This shouldn't be down-voted if for no other reason then it shows that a regular contributor to LW got an article in a major paper that contains the following paragraph:
"Recent research shows that after any emotionally powerful event, our brains tend to assign too much weight to that event compared with what is really important to us, a thinking error called attentional bias. To fight this thinking error, we should consider what are our actual goals and how best to reach them."
Agreed - the article is remarkably rational for a mainstream media op-ed.
