Kahneman and Tversky's research

Holy crap that's useful. System 1 and System 2 correspond almost exactly to my Savant/Speculator distinction, and other bits of the paper support monoidealism and my recent work teaching myself and others to act more confidently and creatively (not to mention improving learning) through explicit deferment of System 2 thinking during task performance. And that's just what I got from a light and partial skimming of the paper. It's going to take a chunk of time out of my day to absorb it all, but it's gonna be worth it.
