I watched it instead of doing an assignment in high school. Made a lot of sense and little difference.

Just looked it up. It’s a talk based on the Wait But Why? blog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arj7oStGLkU

FYI, the name for the thing he’s describing is ADHD. The “rational decision maker” is called executive function.

Edit: here is the blog post the talk is based on
