Another quote from Lost and Philosophy:
"the acceptance of agency is a cornerstone of moral integrity. Anyone who denies his or her freedom is engaging in a form of hypocrisy called "bad faith". A person in bad faith lies to him or herself.. Accepting freedom is on the road to "authenticity".. The opposite of "bad faith", is not "good faith", but complete honesty, even when such honesty reveals unpleasant truths"
As you might have seen coming, Lost was on last night.
What an incredible show, last night the smoke monster came to the rescue, apparently Ben can summon it somehow, it was definitely one of the more impressive Lost scenes this season..Cool article of the day - favorite quotes:
"Minorities often live clustered together with similar socio-economic backgrounds; this gives them a greater incentive to compete for wealth and status. They become more likely to signal their success with visible consumption."
...
"The impact of income on the level of visible consumption appears to persist across minority groups. For example, richer Hispanic groups are less likely to use consumption as a signal than poor ones. It seems because minority communities tend to be poorer, they end up devoting more of their resources to conspicuous consumption. The richer your peers are, no matter your background, the less you spend on visible consumption."
