A Bitter Ending
I had a chance to talk to Danny about two years ago in Berkeley. I had randomly run into him at an event a friend hosted.  We chatted briefly and I asked him one question: &quot;Your research deconstructed the way I think, both instinctually and logically, leaving me with very little basis to make judgements. How would you propose we make decisions.&quot;<p>He responded after sighing a bit empathetically, &quot;I&#x27;m not sure, but I think you should just constantly ask your friends and keep talking with people about your decisions.&quot;<p>I thought this was a great bit of wisdom that I keep at heart. I&#x27;ve noticed that people who isolate their decision making, esp in critical scenarios, more often than not make bad choices.  He highlighted that diversity of friends, constant networked thinking, and the humility to take feedback are the real keys to overcoming the pitfalls his work highlights. He didn&#x27;t say you had to take their feedback exactly, or always change your mind -- just keep talking about it though.
