How do you make decisions in your life? Do you write an exhaustive pro/con list and ask friends to weigh in, or do you go with your gut? In this episode guest Ian Conlon and I discuss Weber’s concept of rationalization. Starting with simple decisions like choosing a cereal, Weber proposed that the world is increasingly ruled by rational, objective logic to the point that faith and individuality get lost. We talk about applications to McDonald’s and standardized testing.
