On TED, there’s a great video about delayed gratification and as a predictor of future success. They left kids alone with a marshmallow, and told them if they didn’t eat it, when he came back, they would get two marshmallows.

I pressed until there was a message that said “Let’s get funky.” Then I wanted to listen to music.
@PandoraBoxx: I absolutely love TED videos.

Nothing. I dislike being manipulated.

I love being manipulated I guess

I did not press the button. I was afraid to. On mature reflection, the odds are against whatever is there harming my equipment – Fluther is respectable, isn’t it? But there is the possibility that I may learn something which I do not wish to know, and regret knowing after the fact.

@Kayak8 don’t feel bad, I clicked it until it started over again. Must be my whole problem with authority thing. I don’t like it when people tell me what to do. Even if the someone is the text below a big red button.

Well, when I first saw that when I was like 12, I pressed it all the way through. This time I only went until “it’s time for round two” which was like 30 buttons. Then I closed the window. Nice trip down memory lane.

I remember that snarky red button.

The stupid video that instructs you to watch for something closely and then surprises you with some intensely scary screaming ghoul ruined my interneting forever.

Made me think of Desmond in Lost. I didn’t push it though. I guess I’m a goody two shoes.
