Daniel Kahneman on Cutting Through the Noise [audio]
- HNLogInShit 8y agoBuried for not being about audio noise filtration.
- Scarbutt 8y agoIs the host a machine?
- moab9 8y agoyes. a noise making machine.
- atomical 8y agoI like Tyler Cowen's voice and find it to be expressive.
- maroonblazer 8y agoHuh? He's having a conversation. I've heard much, much worse on other podcasts. As if the interviewer has recorded all the questions and sent them to the interviewee who then answers them. I.e. no back-and-forth. No probing, no pushing back. This conversation is far from that.
- sooheon 8y agoI think the comment was a dig at the stiff enunciation, not necessarily the content. Anyways, enjoyed the conversation.
- wenc 8y agoIf you mean Tyler Cowen, no. He's just quick at thinking up questions and doesn't have a tendency to insert fillers like umms and ahhs in his speech. Tyler currently hosts one of the most interesting podcasts on the Internet, "Conversations with Tyler" [1] for people with omnivorous interests. His guest list is a who's who of the trendiest (unorthodox?) thinkers today (e.g. Vitalik Buterin, Bruno Macaes, Claire Lehmann, Nassim Taleb, Agnes Callard, Jonathan Haidt, Peter Thiel, etc.) Topics of conversation are similarly omnivorous, from Chinese food to loneliness.

- xibalba 8y agoI'm very surprised that people continue to give credence to Kahneman and his work. Is it not widely known at this point that he is a first-rate bullshit artist?
- rpier001 8y agoIt isn't because he is not. One line of research he endorsed, priming, has failed to stand up to rigorous attempts at replication. Nearly every other aspect of behavioral economics he brought to the forefront remains intact and important.
- wenc 8y agoIf there are any counter points or widely known objections to his work, I’d be interested to learn more. Which body of work were you thinking of? Not being snarky, genuinely curious.
- rpier001 8y agoFor what it is worth, priming isn't really K's work. System 1 and System 2 isn't even unique to him. See also, httpp://www.decisionsciencenews.com/2012/10/05/kahneman-on-the-storm-of-doubts-surrounding-social-priming-research/
