Our brain is not desing to reason with logic, it is desing to reason in a human way, prepare to a social context, we work making patterns to organizate the world, so we can find a quickly choice when we are on a similar experience. Besides our cognition is in the cortex and it's slowly than our emotions.
There are some typical mistakes to reason.
-Emotional reason: to take our emotions like an evidence that something is objetive, if I fear it is dangerous, If I like him he is a good person. One thing is the emotion that something has on us and another is its moral value. We can like something a lot and to be dangerous (anything that generates an addition), we can fear something and to be good (the vegetables on a lot of children and some adults)
-Catastrophic thinking: get the conclution tan something terrible is going to happen without evidence, in our pesimist society is a way of thinking very habitual enhanced by the television that all the time show bad news and traumatic situations forgeting than this are exceptions not the normality. One example of this it was what it happen with the flu this winter
