RE: Thinking Fast and Slow - I seem to remember a few times where that's been posted here that some say some of the concepts have been disproven/aren't rooted in science. I'm not sure if I'm thinking about the same thing. I've always been intrigued by that book.

Also, do you mind explaining a bit about what you mean by "information/awareness hygiene"? I'm intrigued by that as well.

Not so much disproven as unproven. Kahneman has acknowledged that the book has issues.
