Definitely going to give this a read. I’ve always been interested in intuition versus systematized decision-making. For a while I tried to formalize this by comparing heuristics against optimal policies in sandboxed toy games…but then I’d wonder why I had this overwhelming urge to formalize such things in the first place. Still don’t think I have a good answer…

Awesome, can't wait to read it! This will jump the queue on the ten or fifteen other books I have sitting on my Kindle (I'm not optimistic I'll chew through much of the backlog by March, lol).

This is very exciting! I love reading nonfiction books that assess the world (both past and present) and also challenge conventional ways of thought. I'll definitely be adding this to my reading list! Thanks for sharing and writing! :)

Ordered! I feel like I'm always going 'make good decisions, but don't be such a freak about it' and it sounds like I'll have good preaching material.

I very much look forward to consuming this work when it is published. I believe we see what you highlight reflected in the alignment problem when an AI cannot distinguish a rational concept within an underlying irrational context. We are working with some new classes of collective intelligence which has its own novel game theory class that seems to align with how you are thinking.
