It’s nice to see that Katja is pretty well calibrated. Congratulations to her!
I remember listening to a podcast that had Daniel Khaneman on as a guest. The host asked Daniel (paraphrasing) ‘Hey, so people have all these biases that keep them from reasoning correctly. What could I do do to correct them?‘, and Daniel responded ‘Oh, there’s no hope there. You’re just along for the ride, system 1 is going to do whatever it wants’ and I just felt so defeated. There’s really no hope? There’s not a way that we might think more clearly. I take this as a pretty big success, and a nice counterexample to Danny’s claim that people are irredeemably irrational.
