Chris Brogan: Shiny Objects

  • Matthew Cornell · 3 years ago
    Hey Chris, my great great uncle Ezra (so I'm told) is spinning in his grave! I do appreciate your urge to check out ideas' origins - I try to do the same, ideally going to first sources if possible. At least you got an answer. I tried to track down where the idea came up in one of Des Paroz's podcasts, but failed:

    In the 3/22 podcast someone mentioned an evolutionary biologist who believes one of the causes of depression/anxiety today is the fact that we have so many more decisions to make than our brains are capable of making. An example was given of 1-2 generations before and the limited number of choices then as compared to now.

    Take care!

    You're thinking of magpies. Magpies like shiny things.

    Crows like taking photos
