What I admired most about Danny #Kahneman was neither fame nor popular books, but *useful* #research.
Some of the most famous #cognitiveBiases were revealed by #Tversky & Kahneman's #DARPA-sponsored research. It's summarized in this unclassified 1977 technical report: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA056667
I admire scientists who do research useful enough for institutions of high-stakes decision-making to pay for it.
