“Despite the insanity of using whether you would want to have a beer with someone as a legitimate reason for voting for or against them, I always felt that is indicative of a massive problem in politics: It matters as much what your personality is as how smart you are or how good you are at your job. That is a huge, huge problem. A lot of people who are very smart or very good at their jobs are not people I would want to ever have a beer with - but I would want them making massive policy decisions with huge implications for the future of the planet.” PeopleWantMatterReasonProblemJobsFeltDecisionPolicyPlanetsHugePersonalitySmartVery GoodDespiteBeerInsanityVotingMassiveImplicationsVery Smart Author:Michael Schur
“People are very good [at] thinking about agents. The mind is set really beautifully to think about agents. Agents have traits. Agents have behaviors. We understand agents. We form global impression of their personalities. We are really not very good at remembering sentences where the subject of the sentence is an abstract notion.” PeopleThinkingMindRememberFormSubjectsPersonalityBehaviorNotionVery GoodSentencesImpressionAgentsAbstractTraitsReally Beautiful Author:Daniel Kahneman

“My favorite decade of cinema would be kind of the '40s, yeah. I like things in the '30s, but you know, the sound recording in the '30s wasn't very good. But for some reason the movies in the '40s have the best personalities: Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper, Betty Grable, Gene Tierney, and all those people. For some reason, I seem to gravitate more toward the '40s, and I don't necessarily know why. I just love the people.” PeopleKnowsKindReasonSeemsWould BeSoundPersonalityYeahVery GoodMy FavoriteDecadesCinemaBe KindGenesJimmyGaryJimmy Stewart Author:Robert Osborne
