intuitizzle heuristics

Now here's yesterday's Daniel Kahneman quote again - the one about pulling insights from one's own behaviour rather than looking for said insight in facts about things in general.

This time, however, I've copied the text from my original post after it had been through the gizoogle filter.

Somehow i prefer the new interpretation.

"Muthafuckas whoz ass is taught surprisin statistical facts bout human behavior may be impressed ta tha point of spittin some lyrics ta they playaz bout what tha fuck they have heard yo, but dis do not mean dat they understandin of tha ghetto has straight-up chizzled...

Da test...is whether yo' understandin of situations you encounter has chizzled, not whether you have hustled a freshly smoked up fact...

There be a thugged-out deep gap between our thankin bout statistics n' our thankin bout individual cases. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Statistical thangs up in dis biatch wit a cold-ass lil causal interpretation gots a stronger effect on our thankin than noncausal deetz...

But even compellin causal statistics aint gonna chizzle long-held beliefs and beliefs rooted up in underground experience...

Yo ass is mo' likely ta learn somethang by findin surprises up in yo' own behavior than by hearin surprisin facts bout gangstas up in general".

Your turn. http://gizoogle.net
