I was a big fan of "Thinking fast, thinking slow", like pretty much everyone, until the replication crisis came along. Now I see a lot of the work in this field as a sort of scientifically informed stereotyping that might someday end up on par with phrenology, but it's still fun to read and consider as if it were true. It's really awful how pseudo-science can get so far though.
- botexpert 10y agoDid it turn out that research in the book is flawed or not reproducible?
- mikeklaas 10y agoYes, some of the studies haven't been reproducible. I don't have references right now, unfortunately.

- JumpCrisscross 10y agoWow, the plot on the bottom of page 11 really drives home the point.
