This is not as complicated as what you think of, especially for the thinkers who love to ruminate, rationalize and philosophize everything that they see, hear, feel and think.
According to Wikipedia:
"Heuristic (/hjʉˈrɪstɨk/; Greek: "Εὑρίσκω", "find"
or "discover") refers to experience-based techniques for
problem solving, learning, and discovery that give a solution which is not
guaranteed to be optimal. Where the exhaustive search is impractical, heuristic
methods are used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution via
mental shortcuts to ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples of
this method include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess, an intuitive
judgment, stereotyping, or common sense.
In more precise terms, heuristics are
strategies using readily accessible, though loosely applicable, information to
control problem solving in human beings and machines."
I must confess that I am a little bit stereotype
but then, who else are not? The content of my blog is morely composed of my own
experiences, thus producing experienced based opinions and ideologies.
