A few questions about your decision making:
- How did you choose your couple? Did you make a rational analysis of all alternatives and consequences? Did you actually choose at all?
- How does a plane pilot in an emergency decide if he can make it to the runway of the airport or should try landing on the Hudson river?
- Are rational decision-making models actually used by humans? Are heuristics not only faster but also better than rational models?
- When to use quantitative methods and when to use intuition?
These are some of the very interesting issues that Gerd Gigerenzer talks about.
