  • @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.

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

  • "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.

  • 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."

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

  • @luisserra120280

    Cocky? Why? To me he seems simply relaxed...

  • If you listen very carefully. This is brilliant.
