On the basis of recent insights into the characteristics of conscious and unconscious thought, we tested the hypothesis that simple choices (such as between different towels or different sets of oven mitts) indeed produce better results after conscious thought, but that choices in complex matters (such as between different houses or different cars) should be left to unconscious thought." So people still believe in devine intervention! If I just don't think..."this house or car that i just paid through the nose for will be just right! But i still think those oven mitts i got at w*llmart suck!" I Don't know this fellow John Latter, but i thought that this story from his blog was interesting, to say the least.; Tuesday, 26 September, 2006
