Let me introduce myself! I am a PhD candidate in philosophy (epistemology and decision theory). I found this forum almost randomly and started reading some related posts that brought me here. I am basically interested in heuristics under conditions of uncertainty and how these are modelled by the mind after successfully using them. In the future, I would like to open a research centre for historical heuristics (basically, descriptively and possibly non-prescriptively analysing decisions from the documents and dynamics that caused certain decisions, really difficult without bias). Any questions or discussions, I am open to answers!
