Books

What’s one book if everyone read and understood the same way you do, the world would significantly improve?

I would have agreed with this if it hadn’t been so resoundingly undermined by replication issues.

it was?! i knew there was a replication crisis in psychology but was under the impression the kahneman/tversky papers remained relatively unscathed due to the robustness of their study designs

@eddy ah fuck you're right: https://replicationindex.com/2020/12/30/a-meta-scientific-perspective-on-thinking-fast-and-slow/ tl;dr: of the 13 chapters that reference empirical results only 6 have an "r-index" above 50 (<50 implies <50% chance of replication). need to update my priors

This was devastating for me when I found out a few years ago. Had been an impactful book!
