Humans posses an inherent self-efence mechanism, a concept that requires further refinement but serves our current discussion. This mechanism operates in a manner where the likelihood of injury or accident increase during seemingly less risky activities due to reduced vigilance. For example, in weightlifting, injuries are more common when lifting weights lighter than one's maximum because of decreased attention. Similarly driving at low speed often leads to accidents due to easy distraction. We tend to let our guard down with easier tasks and end up in mor trouble.
This whole idea matches up with Moravec's paradox in robotics, which illustrates that tasks simple for humans are challenging for robots and vice versa, due to the complexcity of unconscious skills humans have honed over time. And this principle is echoed in naturalistic decision-making theory, highlight how humans rely on intuition and experience in complex real-world scenarios. It's kind of like in "Dune" with the Mentats, who are humans trained to perform complex calculations,sgiwubg just how much our brains can do, kind of mirroring our talk about intuition and making decisions.
