From The New York Times (Jennifer Egan on "Whose writing today most inspires you?"):
The better understood a new technology is, the less important it is for those wishing to use it to be near the people and firms where it originates.
From Harper's:
Gut instinct is trusted more and self-reflection occurs less in men with high testosterone levels.
From Psychological Science (H/T: Kevin Lewis):
We provide clear empirical support for acquiescence: People can have a faulty intuitive belief about the world (Criterion 1), acknowledge the belief is irrational (Criterion 2), but follow their intuition nonetheless (Criterion 3) — even at a cost.
From The Guardian (Anne Enright on "The book I wish I’d written"):
In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje.
From The New York Times (Jennifer Egan on "Whose writing today most inspires you?"):
Don DeLillo and Joyce Carol Oates in (I hope) a genetic way, along with Robert Stone, who died recently and whose superb work deserves a new generation of readers. Hilary Mantel was my polestar in approaching historical fiction, and anything I know about humor I learned from Martin Amis. More recent favorites are Zadie Smith, George Saunders, Don Lee, James Hannaham, Susan Choi, Kathryn Davis, Asali Solomon and Karen Russell.
