That was quick.

In my first post, I mocked people who post links to their favourite articles in the too oft mistaken belief that others will care. Let my resistance, which lasted a cumulative 5 hours, be a warning as to Blogging's seductive powers.

The Atlantic has a wonderful article about Multiple-Personalities. Not in the sense of the disorder, but in that each of us has multiple 'selves' competing for power. These selves have different interests. My short-term self might want to play games now, but my long term self wants to do well on a test later. Where it gets interesting is in the tricks one self uses to 'bind' another to its intentions.


First-Person Plural
