Thinking like a scientist can help me make daily rational decisions between my wants. In that the way I see want would be ultimately to satisfy the most pressing of needs. This is where the open minded nature of scientist will come in. A scientist would rather chose to buy a new bike than going on expensive dates in order to cut and save travel time.
Thinking like a scientist can help me save cost on actually going out there to buy a cake or making one myself. This is the creative aspect of being a scientist. Why have the ingredient and the skill and I will still choose to go out there buy a cake?
A scientist reads a magazine with all mind seeking to establish the bias that might be laden in an edition. This will help him to rationale between different information presented on the pages of the paper. He/she would question the information source and not believe the story completely.
