POPSLibertarian Paternalism This is a new one on me. From article: "That is not an oxymoron, they insist in their book. Rather it is a corrective to the longstanding assumption of policy makers that the average person is capable of thinking like Albert Einstein, storing as much memory as IBM's Big Blue, and exercising the willpower of Mahatma Gandhi. That is simply not how people are, they say. In reality human beings are lazy, busy, impulsive, inert, and irrational creatures highly susceptible to predictable biases and errors. That's why they can be nudged in socially desirable directions." "A nudge is thus any noncoercive alteration in the context in which people make decisions. The libertarian paternalism behind it is rooted in Thaler's lifelong fascination with the power of small, seemingly innocuous details — the arrangement of food in a cafeteria, the drawing of a small fly in the bowl of a urinal, a pattern of lines on the road — to influence people's behavior.

POPSGeorgia Uni asks stadium fans not to flush They can save a lot of water going down the drain if rather than everyone flushing, the the urinal is rinsed periodically. There is another water saving method that can be used in toilets, where a house brick is placed in the cistern, to reduce the total volume lost in a flush, by the amount the brick displaces.
