Don't trust your intuition, don't trust your emotions, don't trust your memory, don't trust your senses.

But act, largely, based on what they tell you.

Well yes. Our input is heavily filtered, but it's still the only input we get - so it's all we have to act upon.

The best we can do is to become more aware of its limitations (eg our biases) and try to compensate for them as much as possible.

"reasoning under uncertainty" and all that :)
