I very much enjoyed this lecture by Professor Barry Schwartz.

Wow. There is a lot to think about there...

A lot...

Thanks for pointing me in his direction, Jack.

Glad to, I thought that it was good.

The Prof's points definitely have merit. On the other hand, I think that any practical proposal to limit choice would probably do more harm than good.

IMHO the best solution is to teach people how to deal with choice in a productive way, part of which includes not getting too hung up on past decisions that haven't worked out.

Really like the blog!

JT,

Thanks.

RF,

DSL has gotten to be quite affordable. it should be similar to dial up, or so I would imagine. It would make your browsing much more enjoyable.
