The Blink Method, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell in his book "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking," advocates primarily for **thin-slicing**. This refers to the ability to make quick judgments and decisions based on limited information, drawing on our subconscious to interpret situations or data rapidly. The concept emphasizes that sometimes our instinctual responses can be more accurate than deliberate, lengthy analyses.

While the adaptive subconscious is also a part of the discussion, the primary focus of the Blink Method is on the effectiveness of thin-slicing in decision-making. The method does not advocate for thick-slicing or using ample information to generate decisions in the same way—it suggests that quick, informed judgments can be very powerful when done correctly.
