R.I.P. Daniel Kahnemann

[Arneb]

Now I know shit about economics, so can judge neither his economics competence nor if his Nobel was well-deserved. But I did read his Thinking, Fast and Slow book, and found it to be extremeley convincing - the thought processes he describes (or their absence, supplanted time and again, by "heuristics") match my own "inner" observations, especially when I make my numoerous mistakes, errors, and blunders - I also hear him talking in the background when I watch my plane accident analysis videos. So yeah, thanks a lot for the input, Professor.

I have a strange feeling that someone around here might be able to answer those questions.

We might be thinking of the same person, and if you think I might be baiting him into commenting, you might be on the right path.

I believe we're on the same path.

[g-one]

Haven't noticed him around lately, must be busy?

[Richard A]

I didn't know he was an economist. (Our IRU colleague, not Daniel Kahnemann.)

Daniel Kahnemann is an anagram of Die manke lahnnann, which is Finnish for the Unknown Economist.
