Are these well known people?
rhetorical question Kevin?
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.
Is that a rhetorical question? ;)
