Amos and I Have a New Approach to Decision Making

Amos and i enjoyed the extraordinary good fortune of a shared mind that was superior to our individual minds. Our collaboration on judgment and decision making was the reason for the nobel prize that i received in two thousand two which amos would have shared, had he not died aged 59 in 19 96. We spent many days making up choice problems and examining whether our intuiive preferences conformed to the logic of choice. Here, again, as in judgment, we observed systematic biases in our own decisions - intuitive preferences that consistently violated the rules of rational choice. One of the more important developments is that we now understand the marvels as well as the flaws of intuitive thought.
