Choosing to Think.

I really like the Overcoming Bias blog (overcomingbias) and I found today's blog post about choosing to think to be particularly deep. I must admit to having spent some time in the state that one commenter described as:

How happy is the moron:
He doesn't give a damn.
I wish I were a moron.
-- My God, perhaps I am!

Sulpicians

The Sulpicians is a group I know very little about, other than the fact that Montreal has a few streets named in their honor. Well, it seems that at one point they claimed ownership of the entire Island of Montreal, and were very wealthy. Right now the Museum of Fine Arts has a free exhibit of their treasures, and I'm thinking of going to see it. Is anyone interested in accompanying me?
