  Smart people are good at describing things that many of us know but can't describe.

  For everyone saying that this is boring and that he&apos;s not entertaining enough, keep in mind that you&apos;re not putting in effort to understand what he&apos;s saying. You&apos;re hoping that system 1, the sensational, intuitive side will kick in so you don&apos;t have to think; rather, you&apos;d like to be entertained.<br><br>I&apos;ve noticed this with animated videos, powerful public speakers, etc. They do all of the thinking for you, and you just absorb a barrage of information like a sponge. Whereas books, and simple videos like this force our rational and deliberate System 2 thinking to activate. Simple videos like this force us to do the learning ourselves.

  &quot;It&apos;s not a case of: &apos;Read this book and then you&apos;ll think differently. I&apos;ve written this book, and I don&apos;t think differently.&quot; <br>- Daniel Kahneman<br><br>My favorite quote of his that encapsulates perfectly what he is saying.

  It is so refreshing to hear a public intellectual say, &quot;I don&apos;t know.&quot; &nbsp;I can&apos;t imagine other Nobel Laureates in Economics (think Stiglitz, Krugman, Merton Miller) demonstrating such humility.

  &quot;Confidence is not a good diagnostic for when you can trust either yourself or somebody else&quot;. Well said Sir. Hats off to you!

  The best way to understand Daniel Kahenman is to listen to him on a long drive on The Ted Interview podcast. Chris Anderson has a smart way of extracting the best out of the best minds on this planet.

  While the intuitive people built the civilization, while constantly messing up, <br>The sceptics ,afraid of making a mistake, are still sitting in the caves discussing the pros and cons of leaving.<br>I think I deserve a Nobel, at least one.
