Relevance to Knowledge Flow

Kahneman showed that human judgment is shaped by bias, heuristics, and cognitive shortcuts — not rational optimization. In knowledge systems, these dynamics don’t disappear; they compound.

Knowledge Flow acknowledges this reality by designing systems that surface uncertainty, support reflection, and reduce overconfidence. Without this, analytics and AI amplify bias instead of insight.
