Hey Dan, how goes? Very good points! As it happens a few hours before you responded I purchased Thinking Fast, so I’ll give it a listen and let you know. My faith in humanity has to a certain extent been re-invigorated not only by the internet but also by living in Switzerland. The people of my canton recently rejected a law that would increase vacation from 5 weeks to 6 weeks and in the past they’ve voted to raise taxes. I believe this happens because Switzerland has created the conditions whereby you can gave an intelligent discussion about public policy and people can weigh, for example, the benefit of an extra week of vacation against the damage done to productivity. There’s no reason, in my mind, that Americans couldn’t do the same: the issue is more about creating the conditions rather than copying and pasting the political model. At any rate, I’ll get back to you on whether or not I still believe this after reading “Thinking Fast.” Thanks for the comment!

It’s an interesting concept MCA and obviously scientists still have a long way to go in terms of understanding how our brains process, store, and catalogue information. But I don’t know that I have the same optimism as you with regards to embracing complexity.

In Daniel Kahneman’s recent book (Thinking Fast and Slow) he outlines some evolutionary reasons our brain simplifies things and how this can actually enhance decision-making in some cases, since thinking slow (analyzing) imposes a cognitive tax on our brains. While I would love to see the balance swing (for example in American politics) towards more rational analysis and less gut feeling, there are some strong biological biases built in…

You knew the Irving’s well at a young age. People that live here surely do not always see the whole picture… Even to this day. Great article!
