I’d like to recommend a book named Radical uncertainty, it does a great job at criticizing Behavioural economics (among other things) and how we should get many of their results with a pinch of salt. I think this community specifically can benefit greatly from it
I would be interested to read a review of it on LessWrong. (I have also not read the book, and do not have the book either.) The only review I found that was not just a summary of the book described the authors’ recommendations as “Their alternative to probability models seems to be, roughly, experienced judgment informed by credible and consistent “narratives” in a collaborative process.” That sounds to me like dressing up the non-apple of “not using probability models” as a banana.
(surprised) No way!! I bought that book three months ago, at the recommendation of no one. I haven’t read it yet, but it’s good to see that I have made a good investment on my own judgment.
