'Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky were amazing thinkers. Despite being
psychologists, Kahneman won the Nobel Prize for Economics, something he would
have shared with Tversky had that luminary not passed too soon.
One of their precepts was: "What you see is all there is". This is key to the
availability cognitive bias, where we things that are easily and quickly
available to our somewhat conscious minds are assumed to be the dominant
paradigm or the answer. For example, I live in a densely populated urban area
so when I think about people's homes, I think about condos and apartments.
Meanwhile, deeply thoughtful people I respect live in detached, American
single-story homes in the suburbs, and so assume that a lot more people live in
them than do, unless they check the numbers.
And so, to cars.'
