I’ll take it this is an open thread and post this link of interest. A new study has suggested what I said in the last few months – smart people are not only no more likely to overcome their cognitive biases – they are less likely.

Kahneman’s latest (and perhaps last) book, “Thinking, fast and slow”, is just plain awesome.

Interestingly, the concept of a slow, effortful, cognitive “system 2″ (as opposed to the fast, easy-going and automatic system 1) is finding a counterpart in hard neuroscience, in the form of the fronto-parietal “multiple demand” network.
