THE MARVELS AND THE FLAWS OF INTUITIVE THINKING: Edge Master Class 2011

Daniel Kahneman's discussion in "The Marvels and The Flaws of Intuitive Thinking" explores the complexities of intuitive thinking, which he has studied for over 40 years. He examines the balance between the marvels and flaws of intuition, emphasising its power and inherent biases. Kahneman delves into two types of thought processes, Type 1 (automatic, effortless) and Type 2 (controlled, effortful), and how they influence our perception and decision-making. This talk highlights the importance of understanding these cognitive processes for better decision-making and the evolution of psychology in recognising the role of subconscious and intuitive thought.
