Do you have any regrets about what the tracking system built on cookies became? Do you think cookies are being abused? How would you fix the problems we now have with the cookie & tracking ecosystem today? Thanks!

Compulsive liars have strange brains with too much white matter & not enough gray matters. They're brain damaged. Seriously.

I think Dan's most concerned about his finding that people cheat & steal more when dealing with more abstract forms of money. He did an experiment where when he gave people tokens that they could exchange for money later, they cheated a lot more than when he paid them cash direct. As the economy moves into derivatives, swaps, options, etc - very abstract financial instruments - his research suggests we'll see lots of cheating & theft. Even more cheating & theft.

Mostly, surely. The people he was with did eat very few plants.... dried berries they picked in the summer, kelp they put in mussel soup for salt & flavor, and a very few tiny edible bulbs from small flowering plants they dug up to carry while traveling. Otherwise as you know they preferred raw meat, fat, fish or fermented seagulls. If you go to the Polar Museum in Cambridge, they have an exhibit on the diet of the circumpolar peoples.
