Undressed for Success? The Effects of Half-Naked Women on Economic Behavior by Evelina Bonnier, Anna Dreber, Karin Hederos Eriksson, Anna Sandberg :: SSRN

"For male participants, we also find no effect on willingness to compete or math performance, but suggestive evidence that men take more risk after having been exposed to images of half-naked women compared to images including no women. We thus do not find any strong support for the hypothesis that exposure to images of half-naked women impact economic preferences, but given the suggestive evidence for risk taking future studies should explore this further."

Palestinians must make peace or shut up, Saudi crown prince said to tell US Jews

The House of Saud needs better relations with Isreal if it is going to make its Neom city work. Under-busing, the Palestinians is the first step in a long walk back of Saudi support in an attempt to build a real economy.

Not only is Trump likely to bring peace to the Korean peninsula but I expect he will resolve the Isreali/Palestinian issue as well.

The authoritarian party will claim he is lucky, but he would have to be pretty damn lucky to pull off one of these tricks but two? That's not luck.

How to be alone: ‘I feel most alive when I'm with my own thoughts’

Me too, dude, me too!

My long solo kayak expeditions are wonderful. Yes, I enjoy coming home and spending time with others but the chance to be alone for a month or two, engaging in things interesting and risky are some of the best times of my life.
