A post here doesn't call for action or vesting on the reader's part, so it falls outside the sort of decision making that Bono's work addresses.

Given that upvoting is much more common than downvoting, I don't think that more serious thought will decrease the downvote percentage.

I don't believe that we "think negatively faster", rather the status quo and the separate interests of the participants are often not explicitly considered. Start-ups are often exhilarating because there is no status quo worth having and the participants, to a greater extent, are self-selected and unified behind the group's mission.

Be well,
