I just had to share this video. TED talks are weekly talks that present new ideas for the public. You are given a mere 20 minutes to explain your idea. Every talk has value but some are truly exceptional. This is one of those talks. He is a professor of behavioral economics talking about morality, and what he finds in his research really makes you think. With these understandings, we could change our politics, our economy, and even our world.
Dan Ariely is an Israeli American professor of psychology and behavioral economics. He teaches at Duke University and is the founder of The Center for Advanced Hindsight. Ariely's talks on TED have been watched 2.8 million times.
This was a really interesting talk - for most of his studies thought, the stakes were really low - I wonder if the behavior is similar for much higher stakes.
