“When most people say they want to be a millionaire, what they really mean is ‘I want to spend a million dollars,’ which is literally the opposite of being a millionaire”.

Food for thought from Robert Wright, who was considering moral psychology: "The human brain wants victory, not truth." Thankfully, it's self-serving function doesn't operate full time. Rather, it kicks in when we have come to an emotional or intuitive conclusion or we have interests at stake. Why? Because the brain is compelled to argue for its side. We see that regularly in online discussions.

Tim and Sid’s latest commercial makes reference to Matthew McConaughey and his iconic ‘Alright, alright, alright’ quote.
It got me wondering how many people actually know where the line came from.

Passed a guy today running with his dog and I wondered what the dog was thinking.

Dog was pretty much staring at the guy the whole time and was probably thinking.

"Dude, you asked me if I wanted to go for a run and here I am wondering when we are going to start running"

"FFS this isn't what I consider running, this might be classified as loping at best"

Reading about Ben Franklin earlier today, I was reminded how much our world has changed in the last 300 years. Franklin, who was born in Boston in 1706, was apprenticed to his brother, a printer, in 1717. He was 11 years old! At the age of 14, the charm of working in a print shop having worn off, he ran off to Philadelphia. It turned out to be a brilliant decision.
