Thinking - Fast and Slow
Daniel Kahneman
Contributed by Larisa Brooke
Chapter 16
Summary

In chapter sixteen, Kahneman explores the effects cause has on convincing people. He narrates how people’s attention can be moved from the main subject by just introducing a cause variable. System 1 can closely relate thing together if there are actual causes of an event. System 1 is not conducive at analyzing statistical data all at once; instead, it requires causative data to formulate an inference. Kahneman after substantive research concluded that praising of performance actual acts as deterioration strategies for personnel who are performing well. The conclusions made on the possibility of talent and luck demonstrates success even though there are no direct interrelationships.

Analysis

The two systems work under a perfect interrelationship. It is reasonable to conclude that System 1 will always find its way out by concluding prematurely. System 1 has to rely on intuitions and will always search for causes and attach them to the occurrence of events. System 1 likes to make explanations and attaching blames on evens at first sight. System 2 coordinate and operate under substantiated series of data. The belief that one if lucky is an inference that is lucky may make him believe and be confident of succeeding. The same scenario occurs when there is a notion that one is talented and he or she may be meant to think that success is a guaranteed thing.
