Daniel Kahneman Master Class: The Marvels and Flaws of Intuitive Thinking

This is marvellous. From the Edge website below.
In July, Edge held its annual Master Class in Napa, California on the theme: "The Science of Human Nature" held its annual Master Class in St. Helena, California on the theme: "The Science of Human Nature". In the six week period that began September 12th, we are publishing the complete video, audio, and texts: Princeton psychologist Daniel Kahneman on the marvels and the flaws of intuitive thinking; Harvard mathematical biologist Martin Nowak on the evolution of cooperation; UC-Santa Barbara evolutionary psychologist Leda Cosmides on the architecture of motivation; Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker on the history of violence; UC-Santa Barbara neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga on neuroscience and the law; and Princeton religious historian Elaine Pagels on The Book of Revelations.

Just makes me happy to see stuff like this. Comes back to a question we have talked about a lot about whether this type of material should be integrated directly into teaching i.e. just watch the Kahneman video and we will base the lecture and class discussion on the background reading.
