I’m in the know and the replication crisis created boosted my confidence in him because it wiped out half the field while merely discrediting a few of the chapters and studies in thinking fast and slow, most of which was discredited he cited from other researchers.

I did see a lot of charlatans in this thread fail to appreciate the broader context of the replication crisis and failed to appreciate how unscathed Kahneman was by it because he was being careful when his peers were not and long before people started judging him with the wisdom of perfect hindsight. Of course if they wrote such a book they would only express their ideas with timidity and never make a mistake.

I read his book alongside a guide as to what in his book could be ignored. I knew every damning word people said about the man before I read a word he said and left impressed.
