This looks like an excellent article. Though it's a bit long for my current attention span, I will return to it.

The subject of cognitive bias has been an interest of mine since reading Kahneman and Tversky's early work.


The study of the doomsday cult of the 1950s that the author refers to was written up in the book . It's practically required reading.² (The kindle edition is only $5.)

² I have in my Amazon wish list, but I haven't bought it yet. As if I need more books!
