5 Scientific Reasons People Act Like Assholes | Cracked.com
I actually really like the articles at Cracked.
They're usually well researched, and provide links to that research material, but still written in a way that's not only easy to understand, but damn funny too.
Anyway, this article really interested, particularly the part on envy being experienced as an actual physical sensation.
I'm going to be looking up some more of this over the next week or so.
It also got me thinking that Terry Pratchett really was right. Nearly every emotion we experience is a direct result of glands firing off. Kind of sad to be reminded that really we are simply moist robots that could easily be quantified and even reprogrammed when the science comes through for it.
