according to popular legends and urban myths … Amos Tversky is said to have said …
My colleagues, they study artificial intelligence; me, I study natural stupidity.
this, from CoEvolving Innovations which seems like a fascinating resource.
The blog entry there talks about Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky.
The topic is fascinating. The question of how intelligence and stupidity are related is fascinating.
There’s also a reference to Daniel Kahneman, Paul Slovic, and Amos Tversky book Judgment under uncertainty: Heuristics and biases, that I now feel compelled to investigate
interesting factoid …Kahneman was awarded the 2002 Nobel Prize in economic sciences despite being a psychologist, not an economist. Which goes to show you … that Forrest Gump’s Mom was right “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
