Daniel Kahneman is Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Public
Policy at Princeton University. He won the Nobel Prize in
Economic Sciences in 2002 for joint work with Amos Tversky in
which they revealed the biases and heuristics with which humans
operate, thereby deviating from the rationality presumed by
economic theory at the time. Among this and many other awards,
Danny was also given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barrack
Obama. While Danny is likely best known outside of psychology for
his book Thinking Fast and Slow, he and Robinson discuss his
latest a book, co-authored with Olivier Simony and Cass Sunstein,
called Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, which concerns the
astonishingly prevalent and damaging variability inherent in
human judgment.
