Would really like a second edition for that book. The replication crisis has, unfortunately not been kind to some of the things in the book.

This keeps me from reading it. Reading something that is wrong but changes the way I view the world is not something I want.

I think it can still be read, but with a more critical mind and other, recent sources. You have a valid point, though.

Would be really interesting to have Kahneman discuss the crisis in a new chapter.
