A quick tour of heuristics with COVID-19 in mind. Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman introduced me to them. The key thing is will the short-cut lead to a fatal decision.



Lots of survival of the fittest arguments lately. Easy to make them, harder to endure the deaths and pain.



Watched The Hustler again. Great cast. George Chakiris beat George C Scott and Jackie Gleason for Best Supporting Actor Oscar. George did make a terrific Bernardo, but The Hustler co-stars were robbed.

Saw Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Liked droid K-2SO(Alan Tudyk,) Ben Mendelsohn as Director Krennic, and Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera.

Story was too busy and the movie was a bit of a slog. I would rank it # 5 in the series.



Gifts to myself from a $35 Amazon gift card. Thinking Fast and Slow is in my collection but in storage,I saw the new Magnificent Seven but missed the first five minutes.
