[vdccztct] Complete catalogue of human irrationality

Create a list of all the ways rationality fails in humans.  I believe this list, as categories, is reasonably short.  It may serve as a checklist to see if you are being manipulated.

Beginnings of a list:

Thinking with emotion
Inability to comprehend small probabilities
Distinguishing contrapositive versus converse
Determining rational action is computationally difficult (e.g., chess, Bayesian inference)
Planning for the future
