ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cognitive miser

A cognitive miser is someone who tries to save energy and time when making decisions and forming opinions. This means they try to find the quickest and easiest way to get the answers they need instead of taking the time to think through every possible option. For example, if you were trying to decide what movie to watch, you could be a cognitive miser and just choose the one that's most popular, instead of thinking through every single one and making a more informed choice.
