Reviewed in short: New books by Daniel Kahneman, Mitchell Dean, Nadifa Mohamed and Rory Cellan-Jones


In 2010 David Cameron declared that nudge theory – a concept laid out by the authors of 
Nudge, expanding on the work of the Nobel Prize-winning behavioural economist Daniel Kahneman – would transform British politics. Eleven years on, the former PM’s favourite thinkers have prepared a new book for him to chew over. Subtitled “A Flaw in Human Judgement”, it arrives about six years too late.
Here, Kahneman, Sibony and Sunstein study “noise”, which they define as “unwanted variability in judgements”. If bias is systematic, noise is random – inconsistent, irrational decision-making that produces bad results. Judges’ verdicts vary depending on the weather; underwriters looking at the same sample cases arrive at wildly different premium rates. There’s even, for Cameron, a bit on the perils of subjective confidence in one’s own judgements. The message? Humans make mistakes; we’re clouded by mood, psychology, circumstance. Statistically, algorithms make better decisions. So I can say I didn’t much enjoy this book – I found it overly long and repetitive – and know that this is just my imperfect judgement.

Friday Fragments | Confessions of a Community College Dean


 
Earlier this week, I offered a critique of a piece that Neal McCluskey posted.  He responded here.  I started writing a rebuttal to his rebuttal, but decided that I didn’t want to be the “someone is wrong on the internet!” guy, so I’ll just move on and allow readers to reach their own conclusions.
 
The tl;dr take is that he says his attack wasn’t on academic freedom; it was on taxpayer funding of educational institutions at all.  
 
This strikes me as a case of what philosophers call incommensurable premises.  Our basic assumptions are incompatible.  Kudos to McCluskey for spelling out his assumptions candidly -- a trait too often absent from contemporary policy writing.  I disagree fundamentally with his position, for reasons outlined in the earlier critique, but I appreciate putting the epistemological cards on the table.  At least we know where the disagreement is.
