Regarding my edits

Nick, I follow your lead. Do whatever you think meets your goals regarding my edits, including deletion.

Interesting book. Have you come across Keith Stanovich's The Robot's Rebellion: Finding Meaning in the Age of Darwin? System 2 rebelling. Anthony.Sebastian 23:56, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Anthony, I am encouraged by your interest, and grateful for your help.
I am finding it difficult to summarise writing that is so rich in content, in a way that gives the reader the flavour of the book, without giving him indigestion. I am far from satisfied with this first attempt. It seems to me that it is much improved by your edits, but that more are needed. I fear that I may have left out matters that deserve a reference, and that I have included some references that are obscurely phrased.
Thanks for drawing my attention to the Stanovitch book. I have had it downloaded onto my Kindle.
I know little about psychology. My interest in the writings of Tversky and Kahnemann has arisen mainly from their implications for economics. I have always accepted their findings as totally convincing, and I am conscious of my inability to take a critical view of what, for all I know, may be considered controversial by professional psychologists. Perhaps there should be a concluding critique? Perhaps the Stanovitch book will help? What do you think? Nick Gardner 10:07, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
