No you didn't.

OP, when will people realize behavioral economics is a crock of shit? he brought something new to the table but its straight up psych bullshit, no real econ insight. he should have devoted his efforts on providing a more rigorous treatment of economics as a branch of applied math, imho.

I don't know man, I just wanted to read something different for a change, didn't really expect a book devoted to speculating about the reader at every turn, and half the shit feels like armchair psychology to boot.

>reading pop sci

that's where you fucked up

Well now I know. The book isn't worth the paper its printed on, and the fucking author is a bigger pretentious pseudo-intellectual than fedora wearing SJW redditors.

Econ major here. I had to read it at some point in undergrad. That book is a pile of rubbish.

Wasn't there like one point in the book where he claimed 4+1=6 and anyone that believes its 5 is incapable of logical thinking?

wow /lit/ is retarded with anything science related. stick to pynchon

Care to elaborate? Are you even able to?

Well shit, I know that now. At least I learned four chapters in and didn't have to read the whole fucking thing.

>>7558685
this must be a complicated troll right

>>7558591
it's pretty good. it's a pop science book so it walks through ideas slowly, occasionally producing kinda cringe-worthy stuff like the paragraph you photographed. but give it some time to introduce the ideas, by the middle chapters there's some pretty insightful stuff.

lol all of the Continentalk fags getting russelled by a real thinker. Go back to reading your Baudrillard or what ever pseudo intellectual drivel you fags read.

Econ major here as well. I read the whole book then almost immediately forgot everything it said.

How about you read the goddamn book and make your own opinions! What the fuck else you gonna be doing that you can't sacrifice a week to read a goddamn book.
