Yuval speaking of Kahneman’s work through the decades pointing out human behavior such as heuristics. If we accept this view of ourselves it will make for a much brighter world. But if we stick with the egocentric, arrogant view of ourselves, it makes us extremely vulnerable to new kinds of technology.
They were broadly speaking about algorithms and AI making more decisions for humanity.
Interesting to hear other thoughts from those familiar with Kahneman’s work.
I liked the conversation in this interview with Kara Swisher as a provoking interviewer . I have read Daniel Kahneman (loved Think Fast Think Slow ) as well as Yuval Noah Harari. His book Homodeus is particularly thought provoking . Daniel Kahneman is very much focussed on the present whereas Noah Harari is futuristic . Yet , I thought that they both converged. That humanity needs to come to terms with the vulnerabilities- from technology omnipresence , social media , climate .... Embracing the reality and internalising it is a challenge. Yet there is no other way.
