Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman Dies by Assisted Suicide in Switzerland

News summary

Daniel Kahneman, the Nobel Prize-winning psychologist and author of 'Thinking, Fast and Slow,' died on March 27, 2024, from assisted suicide in Switzerland, as revealed by columnist Jason Zweig in the Wall Street Journal. Kahneman kept his decision private, informing only close friends and family, and sent a farewell email expressing his belief that the miseries of old age were unnecessary. His friend Philip Tetlock suggested that Kahneman, who was 90 at the time, had calculated that the burdens of life would soon outweigh its benefits, prompting his choice to end his life on his own terms. Although his decision was deeply personal and not meant as a public endorsement of assisted suicide, it reflected his philosophy on human experience and decision-making. The news of his death prompted mixed reactions, with some friends struggling to come to terms with his choice. Kahneman's legacy as a pioneer in behavioral economics continues to influence discussions around rationality and human behavior.
