Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment

by Daniel Kahneman

It would be outrageous if three similar people, convicted of the same crime, received radically different penalties:

We hold a single interpretation of the world around us at any one time, and we normally invest little effort in generating plausible alternatives to it. One interpretation is enough, and we experience it as true. We do not go through life imagining alternative ways of seeing what we see.

That's why the infinite other visions that sorround us seem so weird, absurd and even surreal.
