The Science of Decision-Making & the Art of Choice by Maria Popova The psychology of spaghetti sauce and why too many jams make you lose your appetite. Why are you reading this? How did you decide to click the link, load the page and stay? How do we decide to do anything at all and, out of the myriad choices we face each day, what makes one option more preferable over another?

Temperament Website - Portrait of the Idealist® Healer (INFP) Healers present a calm and serene face to the world, and can seem shy, even distant around others. But inside they're anything but serene, having a capacity for personal caring rarely found in the other types. Healers care deeply about the inner life of a few special persons, or about a favorite cause in the world at large.

Healers have a profound sense of idealism that comes from a strong personal sense of right and wrong.

Everyone loves a scapegoat or two. And it's terrifying how easy it is direct a population like that, and the staggering amount of power this allows radicals like Beck or O'Reily - who would, in a natural environment, have about as much clout as someone yelling at you on the street. It's the stuff that rivals elected officials. Which could be a good thing - it could be incredible... if it wasn't so charged with vitriol and primarily veiled to slide the scale back from the Democrats to the Republicans in that eternal waddle.

Can 'double screening' help TV producers? The final episode of Lost in May was one of the world's great TV experiences – 59 countries either simulcast the show or showed it the same day. The epic fantasy adventure wound up after 121 hours of television, screened in 220 countries, with a two and a half hour special that pulled in 13.5 million viewers in the US alone. The series had always been a darling of the online world, so when its co-creator Damon Lindelof started talking about the internet when accepting an award, it seemed likely he would thank people for their dedication or explain how they had built the fan base.
