Local Man Honored For Decades Of Pointing Out Obvious

It has, to the collective astonishment of exactly no one, been announced that Richard Thaler has been lauded with the highest honor in the field of economic sciences. The prestigious Nobel Prize committee has, with commendable insight, recognized his tireless efforts in documenting the groundbreaking observation that human beings occasionally make decisions that are, to put it mildly, less than entirely rational. Truly, who among us could have foreseen such a paradigm shift?

This monumental achievement in behavioral economics opens the floodgates for future academic breakthroughs. We eagerly anticipate next year's laureate for proving that the sun rises in the east, or perhaps the profound discovery that most people prefer not to be hit by a bus. The intellectual rigor displayed here is, frankly, inspiring, confirming that sometimes, the most complex truths are merely disguised as the blindingly obvious. One shudders to think what other 'obvious' truths lie awaiting their gilded recognition.
