A Book Written By Someone That Actually......... Won A Nobel Prize

Daniel Kahnamen " Thinking Fast and Slow."
I had the pleasure of reading this book, over a decade ago.
In the last few weeks, the book's concepts have allowed me to send
conservatives running away from the table
exclaiming, "I can only take so much from liberals."
It usually does not take more than a question about the
Availability Heuristic, a topic which arises in the first few pages.
Using the concepts from whole book, when debating with conservative
republicans, would be like hunting wabbits with 16 inch naval guns.
I guess that is why they run.
Seriously, it is a great book, which pops the bubbles of republican conservatives
with every turn of the page. This is not because he is using psychology, and statistics
to hide the truth, as is our current regime, but because he is using psychology, and
statistics to seek the truth.
Enjoy

Anything that “pops the bubbles of republican conservatives
with every turn of the page” gets a thumbs-up from me!
