IT WAS SOOOO BORING BROS
A BOOK ABOUT THINKING AND THE LAB SUBJECTS THAT GOT TOO BORED TO DO BORING LAB THINGS
JESUS CHRIST YE BLOOD BE ON US AND OUR CHILDREN
So, we looked at the data
Ah fond memories of the last vivid memory I had of genociding the elderly with my TRAD BRVTHERS
As someone who actually read it, the book was way too self-indulgent, even if it was interesting and informative. Kohneman spent way too long talking about how he took walks with some researcher or went to lunch with some psychologist, when the appeal of the book (imo) is really in the actual psychology.
Nassim Taleb was way worse about this, and while The Black Swan was interesting, this shit turned me off of buying Antifragility.
It is REPETITIVE
Yeah I don't read any pop shit books for this reason. Really basic stuff padded with anecdotes and braindead takes and bad attempts at writing. In the end you spent more time on it than a more academic text and got nothing for it.
Well written and concise thank you
Better than I could have ever said but exactly what was bothering me
I wish I had this author's clout and sales money tho fr fr
So, we look at some optical illusions
We did six years of research and found that snipers think more than schoolbus drivers.
worked in finance back in the day and they make us interns read this and write a report on it lmfao
stopped midway as well, it worthless piece of shit book
You're all either moronic or knowledgeable. If you're already familiar with the topics and the studies, then of course the book will seem boring. But other than that it was a very easy read.
I tapped out at the first mention of David Hume because I read all of Hume's Treatise years ago but reading this made me feel like I was marathoning it back to back to this
kek I stopped reading this a month ago. Got to Part III I think. I dont know how this book has 300k+ 5 star reviews if nobody has actually finished it
Isn’t that one of those pop-sci midwit books?
It won a nobel prize thus giving the author park where you want priviliges at ivy league school campuses
Work cited source see pic rel
I got the claim for this JOURNALIST
Half of the stuff cited in that book failed to replicate, you saved yourself time.
This, I liked the book a lot but the statistics professor I follow says that the methodology of the work it is based on is weak. I guess that's a win for rationality but so many (including myself) being fooled is not a good sign.
I can never finish anti-oedipus. It's not that I think I'll learn so much from it, I'd just like to be able to talk about it from the perspective of having read it
> male author
> female pronoun bias
I fricking hate science
Antifragile. After audiobook black swan and fbr and enjoying it very much, i wanted to try to read taleb on paper. It was a slog. Stopped halfway through, felt like he was addint all thise anecdotes and little graphs just to make it longer. As i said it can work in form of an audiobook, but as a real book it doesn't flow at all.
>Unmotivated experiment with little relation to the real world
>Theyre probably not even replicateable
>Little talk of setup, none of methodology or actual numerical results
>Results so vague they can be interprated in thousands of ways
>"Anyway, this obviously supports my main thesis."
I dont understand how this is so popular. Is all popsci like this, or is psychology a meme field?
both are true unironically.
>t ba in psychology
