I was actually wondering about the history, as I wasn't around for LW 1.0. I thought the cognitive bias stuff was quite central to the LW project, after all it's called Less Wrong...
... but was it actually all that popular a topic, or just what was in the air ~2008 (like atheism)? I certainly don't see that much of it there any more, just lots of AI.
I did read *Thinking* (without having read EY) around 2010, and swallowed it uncritically, so I'm in no position to crow at anyone else for doing that now :)
FWIW I learned the original Kahneman & Tversky stuff in an intro cognitive psychology class in 1979. It’s a robust collection of effects, which is what cog psych needs (they realized already back then that a lot of results tend to evaporate if you push on them).
Do you mean popular on LW? I recall cognitive bias stuff being big early on (but possibly my memory is faulty; I wasn’t very interested). I think the ideology of System 1 vs 2, ie “intuition vs rationality” is fundamental and pervasive in LW thinking regardless.
Yeah, I meant on LW. It just isn't something I see much of there any more, so wasn't sure how big it really was.
It was definitely pretty central, and EY had found it before it got popular (always citing primary sources when covering the topic), but it's also not really talked about anymore.
