Make a fist

The Psychology of Global Warming - Best-selling author and Professor Dan Gilbert on our reaction to threats & our reaction to global warming.

The human brain is the only object on the known universe that can predict its own future and tell its own fortune. The fact that we can make decisions even as we foresee their disastrous consequences is the great, unsolved mystery of human behavior. When you hold your fate in your hands, why would you ever make a fist?
– Daniel Gilbert
