Logical Fallacies and Cognitive Biases

18:27 05 Apr 2006. Updated: 11:59 09 Oct 2006

I randomly found these two categories on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Logical_fallacies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cognitive_biases

There’s a lot of really great reading in there, and in fact I feel like *everyone* should read all of them. Especially the logical fallacies. I mean, wow, how much better would the world be if people were less swayed by emotional manipulation? And if everyone were more aware of their own biases?

I also came across a good explanation of the Monty Hall problem while skimming the Gambler’s fallacy.
