The links I find most interesting today are from a new find, “PsyBlog.” Very cool site. The one is on how we are drawn to others who share even the most superficial similarities to us. The other is on how a balanced approach actually trumps a one-sided one when arguing a point. I see the first link as a bit worrying on our hidden biases. The second one is more uplifting.
