This episode is also on Bilibili too.
I sat down with Professor Wang Zuojun, the translator of Daniel Kahneman’s bestselling new psychology book Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, for a conversation about “noise” in decision-making. We discussed six questions:
1. Do fund managers in the stock and securities markets count as real experts?
2. When using models to make decisions, what issues do we need to pay the most attention to?
3. Which case in Noise left the deepest impression on Professor Wang? What can it teach us about making decisions in everyday life?
4. Is there any contradiction between “reducing noise” and “maintaining diversity”?
5. How does the general decision-making procedure known as the “mediated assessment method” work?
6. What is the connection between “noise” and “reliability” in measurement theory, and how are they different?
