I never did get around to reading thinking fast and slow or any major work in behavioral econ for that matter. Kinda glad now. Whole house of cards appears to be falling apart at the foundations. Bias-sniping now feels like it's at the same level as astrology and myers-briggs

never saw that as being a significant part of the problem, and I approve of that actually. Things wrong with behavioral econ/social psych weren't things that could be fixed by ideas from outside it. the problems were internal to the methods and concepts of their own field
