short smart essays by many people on ideas they think will make you smarter.
The collection does deliver as promised, unfortunately there are so many essays on such a diverse range of topics that it's difficult to remember them all. Most of them are popular cognitive biases, aspects of scientific method. I'll remember some of the ideas…
Correlation is not Causation… Example… People who believe in astrology live longer than people who don't. This has nothing to do with astrology. Women believe more often than men in astrology, and women live longer than men.
So many other ideas-- play- pursue generative ideas. Ideas must be testable.
If I could remember it all, I would be smarter. There are so many ideas on the book though, that the flow right through me.
