(1) I have had to introduce cognitive biases to people myself and was wondering what reasons to give for the the precise selection of biases I present. As far as these 10 biases are concerned: Is it just a judgement call to choose this specific list of biases—as they kind of seem practically relevant and much discussed? Or is there a more systematic reason for choosing these 10 or any other list?
(2) Yudkowsky’s list is from 2008. Much has happened since. It would be nice if there were kind of a running update on which cognitive biases have moved up / down over time in terms of being supported by the evidence.
Thanks very much!
