This Episode talks about "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. The author introduces two core cognitive systems: System 1, which operates automatically and quickly, generating impressions and intuitions, and System 2, which is effortful, deliberate, and handles complex reasoning and self-control. The book explores how these systems interact, often leading to systematic errors, or "biases," in judgment and decision-making when the "lazy" System 2 fails to override System 1's rapid responses. Kahneman aims to provide a richer vocabulary to understand and discuss these inherent flaws in human thought.
