So today we're going to be talking about Daniel Conamine, both some of my personal connections to him and his work,

but more generally about his work and psychology of decision making, which is very much the area of my doctoral work.

Okay, so welcome to everybody.

Thank you for showing up. I did a X spaces yesterday, impromptu 1. It was titled Things that

are pissing me off. And people said, please have this as a regular series I just kind of riffed off the top of my

head on things that are getting me angry I talked about four different things. It should be pretty easy to find on my feed and today I

academic or if you're not a you know a psychologist it's worth knowing his work some of you

may have gotten to know his work in his 2011 book,

thinking fast and slow, which refers to system one and system two processing, you know, fast processing,

autonomic processing, versus more deliberative

cognitively effort for processing.

So, and in that book he kind of went over many of the

the research streams that he had developed largely with Amos Tversky who was

his call they're both Israeli originally, both Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman.

Regrettably Daniel Kahneman, I'm not sorry not Daniel Kahneman, Amos Tversky passed away in 1996 of a aggressive melanoma which I think

had spread to his kidney and so you, he didn't, he wasn't around to see when Daniel Kahneman won the 2002
