This looks pretty cool. At the least, it doesn’t sound like Hollywood Rationality: the game is actually intended to engage with cognitive bias, and takes its subject seriously. Also, there are going to be some cognitive psychologists working as consultants. Here’s the list of biases they hope to help fix:
Confirmation bias—the tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms preconceptions. Blind spot bias—being less aware of one’s own cognitive biases than those of others. Fundamental attribution error—over-emphasizing personality-based or character-based effects on behavior. Anchoring bias—relying too heavily on one trait or one piece of information. Representative bias—judging the likelihood of a hypothesis by its resemblance to immediately available data. Projection bias—assuming others share one’s current feelings, values or thinking
Best of luck to them. What I want to know is, how if at all do they plan to test whether or not this game works to make people more rational?
