I find the majority of responses to these published findings to be fascinating. It's like when we learned in the past few years that humans only have a finite capacity for willpower within a given (short) timeframe. The near universal reaction among my intelligent friends was something like, "Well, I'm sure that's true for all those OTHER people..."

Disclosure: My smartphone (currently) remains by my side. But this has got me thinking about the dilemma.



That conclusion about willpower is quite suspect, fyi. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_depletion.
