He also mentions three models of thought: descriptive models, prescriptive models, and normative models. Descriptive models are what people actually do; normative models are what thinkers should do with infinite cognitive resources; prescriptive models are what thinkers should do with limited cognitive resources. This has come up on LW before, though the focus here has often been exclusively on the normative, though the prescriptive seems most useful.

This seems like a pretty useful classification scheme.

I've heard people mention Gary Drescher's Good and Real as also overlapping with the sequences a fair amount. How do y'all feel about mentioning these two books on the sequences page?
