What Bapu is reading these days in the "library"

Thinking Fast and Slow

Intriguing stuff to be sure. In depth analysis and understanding of (the sometimes falsity of) heuristic thinking. 

please, if you have stinking heuristicals, either have a soak in the bath or at least change your underwear

I see that the author is a recipient of the Nobel Prize in economics......

Is reading this an attempt is tapping into the inner depths of the Bouy's tax system?

Exactly, I'm learning that just saying "Of course there is a Bouy tax" I've come to realize "There'll always be a Bouy tax".


The book is helping, roight?

A thought on "fast" or "slow" thinking (though I haven't read the link):

When at University other students ridiculed Thomas Aquinas for being a "dumb ox".  He said very little, and his thought process was very slow.  Eventually, one of the profs had enough, and rebuked the class, saying that that "dumb ox" would change the world.  That proved true as the eventual writings of Aquinas were at the heart of Middle Age thought for roughly 300 years.

Of course, how I think tends also tends to be on the "slow" side, so I am sure this story has no personal impact (like: right). <smile>
