Drawn from what Daniel Kahneman said
What Daniel Kahneman actually said
- Daniel Kahneman Psychologist and Nobel laureate (1934 to 2024)
Every discipline of social science, I believe, has some ritual tests of competence, which must be passed before a piece of work is considered worthy of attention. Such tests are necessary to prevent information overload, and they are also important aspects of the tribal life of the disciplines.
