I don’t know that I agree with this. I’ve used the term ‘lizard brain’ a lot, but I had no idea it was rooted in this study. I just assumed it meant a more primitive train of thought, particularly one in a state of panic. It’s obviously important to dispel misconceptions if you have them, but I don’t think saying ‘a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush’ is going to irreparably alter someone’s idea of economics just because the value of birds doesn’t literally match the metaphor.

This was the death knell for me. It’s been slowly getting worse year after year and the change to disallow third party apps (and later changing it to allow API access with a payment) almost sent me off for good.

But like… without the r/all page, there isn’t even a reason for me to go there anymore.
