Conversations with History: Daniel Kahneman

[RoboSlater]

Two types of thinking: System 1: intuitive, rapid, associative, always evaluating the emotional significance of an event; System 2. Rule-governed.

[RoboSlater]

"People use heuristics: The mind as a machine for jumping to conclusions: one way is 'substitution': You're asked a question, unable to answer, so substitute an answer to a related question." That describes politicians on Meet The Press and elsewhere.

[RoboSlater]

The only non-economist to win a Nobel Prize in Economics..... didn't intend to influence economics at all, but publishing a useful article on decision-making in Econometrics cuz it was prestigious and it not appearing elsewhere drew Nobel attention to it." ChaCha!

"Research is a conversation. No one dominates it. A criterion of which is that it be interesting." "The psychology of single questions." "Collaboration shortens the time in which the clarity of your idea(s) [occur] to you."

@RoboSlater Just for the record, Daniel Kahneman is not "the only non-economist to win a Nobel Prize in Economics." In 2009 Elinor Ostrom won the the Nobel Prize in Economics. All of her training and college degrees were in Political Science.

Harry's questions are too long, not well formed, and rather annoying.

I didn't imagine he was that cocky. He deserves it though, I admire his work.
