Volume 2 – Handbook I: Authors Profiles – Gerd Gigerenzer (1947 - )
For new readers, please read the “Pinned Post” at the top of this Substack’s Home Page, and titled Why Use Public Peer-Review to Write a Book? - “See for Yourself”.
For returning readers & subscribers, this post presents the first draft of an Author Profile about Gerd Gigerenzer (1947 - ).
Gigerenzer belongs a very small group of researchers that brings meaningful solutions to the unresolved “Puzzles, Paradoxes & Anomalies” that plague decision-making in general, and making good individual, business & investment decisions in particular.
As you can read between the lines of this Author Profile, we can see a familiar pattern of discovery, shared with other members of this very small group of researchers that includes Ole Peters:
- Meaningful answers that provide solutions to unresolved “Puzzles, Paradoxes & Anomalies” come from a “Process” based on an examination of the foundational “Axiom, Assumptions & Hypotheses”, the “Feet of Clay” that support the problematic “Theories, Rules & Laws”, in order to find the confounding variables, and the material “Inversions” of results and “Meaning” that create the unresolvable problems in the first place.
Gigerenzer’s additional power comes from providing an elegant analytical dismembering of the problematic “Theories, Rules & Laws”, as well as a practical synthetical rebuilding of solutions & algorithms that both humans and machines (AI/ML/LLMs) can use to make good “Predictions”, and good decisions.

“CTRI by Francois Gadenne” writes a book in three volumes, published at the rate of one two-pages section per day on Substack for public peer-review. The book connects the dots of life-enhancing practices for the next generation, free of controlling algorithms, based on the lifetime experience of a retirement age entrepreneur, & continuously updated with insights from reading Wealth, Health, & Statistics (i.e. AI/ML/LLM) research papers on behalf of large companies as the co-founder of CTRI.
