在读 #ThinkingFastAndSlow，读到 10%，感觉跟我之前读的 #HowEmotionsAreMade 和 #TheWillpowerInstinct 重叠还蛮多的。

美国作者真的特别喜欢写一些只对在美国的人才有意义的话，比如”How many murders occur in the state of Michigan in one year?””Think of the last time you took a driving test.”

The event of a lost wallet could evoke many different causes: the wallet slipped out of a pocket, was left in the restaurant, etc. However, when the ideas of lost wallet, New York, and crowds are juxtaposed, they jointly evoke the explanation that a pickpocket caused the loss.

我又让作者失望了，我完全没联想到钱包是被偷的。

evidence accumulates gradually and the interpretation is shaped by the emotion attached to the first impression. In an enduring classic of psychology, Solomon Asch presented descriptions of two people and asked for comments on their personality. What do you think of Alan and Ben?

Representativeness would tell you to bet on the PhD, but this is not necessarily wise. You should seriously consider the second alternative, because many more nongraduates than PhDs ride in New York subways.

这书里面好多逻辑都好怪啊，比如他凭什么认为 PhD 会更少地坐地铁？他要是说没有大学文凭的人比 PhD 多那含义还明确一点，虽然如果没有大学文凭的人比 PhD 多的话那在地铁里的比例估计也如此，但他加上“坐地铁”的话就让我搞不清楚他到底是哪个意思…
