You're talking about something else. Our heuristic-based processing model is there to keep us alive.

That's different than having opinions on things. Your opinion about whether a tiger is a danger to you in the jungle doesn't matter. It just is or isn't something that will kill you.

I'm talking about having opinions that you spend mental time and energy on. Opinions that turn into values that turn into actions. You can absolutely cultivate these and knowingly decide what to spend time and focus on.
