How the Brain Decides: Thinking Fast & Slow
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-12-29/how-brain-decides-thinking-fast-slow
Meet a man who devoted his life to sorting out HOW the brain makes decisions. Turns out, the judgment process for making decisions in the face of any challenge can be divided into either 'fast' or 'slow' thinking. We explore thought experiments that help explain why you can often be so positive you are correct, just to find out you're wrong.
