The public lecture super-week at LSE was launched by Gerd Gigerenzer, a German psychologist whose main work concentrates on bounded rationality and heuristic decision-making. His main thesis was the re-evaluation of the unconscious processes taking place in human heads that are commonly seen as, at best, obscuring so called rational ones. The people that think so, let us call them ‘limitationists’, seem to be mainly the same individuals that received the bulk of criticism during the lecture held last Monday. The bottom line is that there can be something happening beyond the realms of language.
