Don't think you're allowed to copy-paste entire articles from other sources. Maybe you should just give a few excerps and link to the original article.

Second that. Good article.
Yeah, article was great. Had to go to Youtube right after reading and see Apollo too. Was a little disappointed that the clips I saw just seemed to be variations of the same thing, and minor variations at that. Will delve a little deeper though!
I liked that he did it to the loud-mouthed Penn.
Ended up watching various pickpockets for 3 hours tonight. Bastard. :gah:
Criminal Profiling Made Easy: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/11/12/071112fa_fact_gladwell?currentPage=all
This is a long one but I love the article. It debunks the type of criminal profiling that has gone on at Quantico and has been an ever-present idea in pop culture thanks to the likes of Thomas Harris. Criminal profiling, it turns out, is exactly as effective as pure guesswork. It's just another form of cold reading.
I love this type of 'anti-tabloid' journalism which makes readers use their "System 2" thinking mechanism.

This is pretty amazing.
@ Tone, that article about the work of Kahenman reinforces my belief that the world is really value neutral and insensitive to any forces that people think can be exerted. All we can do is be thankful we weren't one of those poor bastards that were in Hiroshima or just hope we win the next game and move on.

But that's what we do, isn't it? When you think back of a vacation a decade ago, mostly you either remember it as great or shit, when the reality is probably that it had a bit of both.

Yep. The past is a bit like the present supercharged. We know that two people can watch the same game of football and yet have vastly contrasting experiences and hence opinions. No one can be sure my friend where truth begins and fiction ends.
