POPSclipmarks POP-A-THON: $1 per POP for UNICEF! For every POP this clip gets between now and 10 p.m. Eastern on Halloween 2006, I will give $1 to my nephew's school Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign (up to $200). The POP will cost you nothing, it will cost me a $1. What do you have to lose? Let's help make some internet history by being part of (what I believe is) the first social bookmarking/networking community "POP-A-THON"! Imagine if every clipmarker gave $1 to a charity of choice for every one of their POPs?

POPSWho's Minding the Mind? New studies have found that people tidy up more thoroughly when there’s a faint tang of cleaning liquid in the air; they become more competitive if there’s a briefcase in sight, or more cooperative if they glimpse words like “dependable” and “support” — all without being aware of the change, or what prompted it. In describing my own research or cognitive science in general to people, the most difficult obstacle I would eventually encounter was the stubborn human belief that there was a independent entity — a free will — in charge of everything important that goes on in their brain. While science has been steadily dismantling this understandable misconception for decades, recent studies on subconscious social priming like these would have helped me demonstrate my point. To be fair, it's more than a little disconcerting to realize what a messy mix of competing, semi-independent, multi-layered neural modules are responsible for producing our daily behavior.

POPSFirstborn Children Are the Cleverest Be sure to read the rest of the article; it is quite fascinating. It's also interesting to note that one of the related articles listed on the side is titled "Smarter People Are No Better Off"!

POPSJuliapatriciaroy gives ClipCast a glowing review Who can argue with Julia...she has to be right! :) Julia is definitely someone i have a great deal of respect for. In my mind, she's ahead of the curve when it comes to fully grasping the powerful social implications of the web. Having her think so highly of clipmarks really means a lot to us. Thanks Julia!

POPSA New State Of Mind But that view of the neurotransmitter was vastly oversimplified. What wasn’t yet clear was that dopamine is also a profoundly important source of information. It doesn’t merely let us take pleasure in the world; it allows us to understand the world.

POPSBreaking rules makes your brain light up. They write their findings could have implications for understanding the behaviour of psychopaths. They mention the activity regarding subjects that are presented with the possibility of punishment for their actions. Should guilt be another focus of this study? Guilt is related to both the action, and the fear of punishment. There is the idea that a psychopath has a conscience that is dysfunctional, but if this research leads to means if inducing subjects to condemn themselves, for failing to comply with arbitrary regulation, what can this research contribute to the development of crowd control, and social engineering aspirations? I know this seems alarmist, but they are trying to gather what they can from the location of a thought. When we have trouble explaining consciousness. While the conscious mind may be the tip of the ice berg, we have no idea how much ice there is.

POPSGossip more powerful than truth 
The researchers then took the game a step further and showed the students the actual decisions people had made. But they also supplied false gossip that contradicted that evidence. In these cases, the students based their decisions to award money on the gossip, rather than the hard evidence, showing such information is a powerful tool, Sommerfeld said. "Rationally if you know what the people did, you should care, but they still listened to what others said," he said. "They even reacted on it if they knew better." Researchers have long used similar games to study how people cooperate and the impact of gossip in groups. Scientists define gossip as social information spread about a person who is not present, Sommerfeld said. In evolutionary terms, gossip can be an important tool for people to acquire information about others' reputations or navigate through social networks at work and in their everyday lives, the study said. One example could be using gossip to learn tha
