Another talk from TED – this one’s making sense of our morals, specifically cheating and stealing and the factors affect how likely we are to cheat (the fudge factor of the title).
The conclusion about intuition and the difficulty in believing that your own intuition might be wrong is something that definitely rings true for me (as I’m sure Gadsby will attest!)
Slight worryingly this is apparently what my Granda has for breakfast – I definitely remember the mound of various cereals and fruits but the 7up’s a new one on me.
I think I need this book.
Neil’s new book, Emergency, teaches you how to become Jason Bourne.
Multiple passports, moving assets, lock-picking, escape and evasion, foraging, even how to cross borders without detection.
Tim Ferriss has excerpts from the book, and reading through I think in all honesty I lack:
To actually move all my assets into limited liability companies, become a citizen of a tax haven and launder money, but the Urban Escape and Evasion course sounds pretty cool:
In the last forty-eight hours, I’d learned to hotwire a car, pick locks, conceal my identity, and escape from handcuffs, flexi-cuffs, ducttape, rope, and nearly every other type of restraint.
Though I doubt I’ll ever require any of these skills outside of a stag do.

The trailer for Where The Wild Things Are is up on the Apple site. I’m not 100% sure what to make of it, I’ve been uncertain about a live action adaptation from the start and, depending how it’s done, expanding the story to make it feature length could go wrong.
The Wild Things have a certain Henson-like quality to them which I think I’ll like, and Wild Things voiced by Tony Soprano and Ghost Dog can only be a good thing.
