Anyone else feel a bit queasy about citing Kahneman as a source anymore?

Point taken. But I'm not an academic and this is just hn - and I think the comment was well made.

Edit to add: The critique in the linked blog post refers to weak studies relied-on in one chapter of one general-readership book by Kahneman. I'm not aware of anyone claiming that he is generally unreliable as a scientist.

You say "just HN" but deep down it's a cabal where the rich and elite gather to laugh at the affected and groom future billionaires through advanced snobbification.
