Heuristics vs Traps

Mila Agius, Dr Sam Illingworth, The Strategic Linguist, Karen Spinner, Daryna Karuna

Clear thinking for a noisy world: heuristics that protect attention, money & agency – and expose traps that outsource your judgment. Behavioural psychology → tiny tools you can use today. Spot when a “helpful” system stops helping and starts deciding.

Authors

The writers behind this newsletter.

  • Mila Agius

    I track the early signals shaping the future of money, business, reputation, and media – before they harden into normal life. Behavioural analysis, fintech, trust, systems. No hype. Just clarity. A fixed analytical voice, not a personal identity.

  • Dr Sam Illingworth

    Professor & poet in Edinburgh. Creator of the Slow AI Curriculum for Critical AI Literacy. Author of GenAI in Higher Education (Bloomsbury, 2026).

  • The Strategic Linguist

    Trained linguist. I write about how language shapes power, identity, and professional life, and what the science of language says about what you're experiencing but can't quite name. Views my own, not my employer's.

  • Karen Spinner

    AI builder with mixed feelings about AI. Agency owner (custom software, product messaging). Creator of CarouselBot, a tool that turns your posts into LinkedIn carousels.

  • Daryna Karuna

    APSI field guide: expedition-tested, expert-verified tools for decisions under uncertainty (deals, leadership, negotiation). Cases → diagnostics → moves. No hype. Just mechanisms. \ud83c\udfaf
