He first presented the dog with food, which of course elicited salivation. He then rang a bell near the dog, which caused no response. He began to ring the bell while giving the dog its food, causing the…

Knowledge is power. That phrase has always resonated soundly within me, and even remained pertinent to subjects I didn’t enjoy; I have never been a fan of psychology, perhaps due to the feelings of scrutiny I undergo when in classes whose goal is to delve into the human mind (my own brain is a private matter, personally), but I still hold an appreciation for any chance to expand my knowledge. I’ve held this opinion towards information for as long as I can remember, as for some reason learning…

What does a businessman riding the subway in Tokyo have in common with a man performing a Balinese Monkey Chant?
