    "Paradoxically, it is easier to construct a coherent story when you know little, when there are fewer pieces to fit into the puzzle. Our comforting conviction that the world makes sense rests on a secure foundation: our almost unlimited ability to ignore our ignorance."

    D.Kahnemann, "Thinking, Fast and Slow", Penguin Books 2012/2024, p.231

    "People are asked for a prediction but they substitute an evaluation of the evidence, without noticing that the question they answer is not the one they were asked. This process is guaranteed to generate predictions that are systematically biased; they competely ignore regression to the mean."

    D.Kahnemann, "Thinking, Fast and Slow", Penguin Books 2012/2024, p.217

  3. #Kahnemann #Tversky #ThinkingFastAndSlow

    "The principle of independent judgements (and decorrelated errors) has immediate applications for the conduct of meetings, an activity in which executives in organizations spend a great deal of their working days. A simple rule can help: before an issue is discussed, all members of the committee should be asked to write a very brief summary of their position. This procedure makes good use of the value of the diversity of knowledge and opinion in the group. The standard practice of open discussion gives too much weight to the opinions of those who speak early and assertively, causing others to line up behind them."

    D.Kahnemann, "Thinking, Fast and Slow", Penguin Books 2012/2024, p.98

    "Many people are overconfident, prone to place too much faith in their intuitions. They apparently find cognitive effort at least mildly unpleasant and avoid it as much as possible."

    "I was reflecting on Danny's passing yesterday and thinking about what I learned from the opportunity to interact closely with him. Obviously, his research has influenced many, many people. But here are three personal observations you may appreciate." -- #PeterMcGraw

  6. Daniel Kahneman, the Nobel Prize-winning psychologist and author of "Thinking Fast and Slow," died today at age 90. Here's a tribute to him from NPR. "Danny was a giant in the field," said Eldar Shafir, a professor at Princeton. "Many areas in the social sciences simply have not been the same since he arrived on the scene."

  7. @coffeegeek An instant message gets an instant answer, but usually no more than a short sentence, at best.
    You're never going to get more than a 'yes', 'no', 'I don't know', or 'have you asked Jeeves?', it's a constraint of the medium.
    Thoughtfulness is discouraged, response on IM is a system 1 activity.

  8. 在读《Thinking, Fast and Slow》 :star_solid: :star_solid: :star_solid: :star_empty: :star_empty:

    不愧是诺贝尔经济学奖获得者,写文章跟掉钱眼里了一样,每一章都在问你一些类似选 90% 概率拿 1000 刀还是 100% 概率拿 900 刀之类的问题。我跟着做了几道,几乎每次都跟 great majority 选的不一样,几遍之后就没耐心读题了,因为我真的对钱没有那么大的兴趣!虽然作者有解释为什么用 simple gamble model 但读起来还是无聊透顶。
    书开头几节印象还可以,我还做了点笔记的,越到后面越无聊,重复啰嗦而且很自大。讲话的角度经常让我感到完全不是一个世界的人,比如“开公司失败的概率总是远远超过人们预计,如果知道了失败率之后你还会选择开公司吗。”呃呃呃所以你们做事的唯一目的就是成功吗?还有讲到 hostile to algorithm 之类的,拜托,那是因为不信任 machinery 吗?那是因为 algorithm 也是人写的啊!我怎么能确信写 algorithm 的人有考虑到我认为重要的因素/有随着现代价值更新呢?

  9. @hiljaisuus Ihmiset ovat siinä mielessä ihan tavallisia eläimiä että teemme aina sitä mikä on helppoa ja mukavaa. Kyllä #DanielKahneman’in #thinkingfastandslow -kirjan perusajatus pitää.

  10. You don’t know how many posts & replies I write and then delete. 😂😅

  11. This weekend will be exciting! John E. Laird (laird.engin.umich.edu/), Yoshua Bengio (yoshuabengio.org/) and @garymarcus are speaking at #AAAI #FSS 2022 on Thinking Fast and Slow - sites.google.com/view/aaai-fss.

    Laird and Bengio represent the cognitive-symbolic and statistical-sub-symbolic views respectively. Both have architectures that implement some form of 'fast and slow'. @garymarcus ofcourse is the chief cynic :)
