Daniel Kahneman claims that (1) regularity, (2) practice and (3) immediate feedback are the keys to trusting intuition.
If this is true, I should be able to intuit when I get a lot of upvotes on Hacker news.
This comment will do okay, I predict. (1-5 votes) But if I had added a joke, it would have done very well. (10+ votes)
Now that I added that last insight, it will do even better than okay. (3-7 votes).
I'll report back in a day.
- ssambros 8y agoSo, what's the joke? I want to see you succeed.
- projectramo 8y agoSorry to mislead you. I hadn't thought of a joke, but if I had thought of a joke and put it in, my posts get a lot more upvotes. It might be my natural humor, or it might be people reading HN like a laugh however corny. I don't get feedback on why people vote, and am not allowed to ask.
- projectramo 8y agoI will just edit this comment to report on the number of votes: original vote plus: 6 upvotes - 15 minutes edit: 7 upvotes - 1 hour
- projectramo 8y ago3 days, 7 points (6 votes)! Kahneman is right!
