Empathy, cooperation, fairness and reciprocity -- caring about the well-being of others seems like a very human trait. But Frans de Waal shares some surprising videos of behavioral tests, on primates and other mammals, that show how many of these moral traits all of us share. Ted Talk Via Edwin Rutsch

According to the study, the majority of psychological research is conducted on subjects from Western nations, primarily university students. Between 2003 and 2007, 96 per cent of psychological samples came from countries with only 12 per cent of the world’s populations. The U.S. alone provided nearly 70 per cent of these subjects. However, the study finds significant psychological and behavioral differences between what the researchers call Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic (WEIRD) societies and their non-WEIRD counterparts across a spectrum of key areas, including visual perception, fairness, spatial and moral reasoning, memory and conformity.

This one hurt: "Shut Up About Your Awesome Idea – Research shows that talking about a goal makes you less likely to execute on it. Turns out that the social gratification we get from sharing our big plans is rewarding enough that we live it in our brain and never get around to making it go. So, shut up about how you’re going to conquer the world and go do it."

IDEAS > GAMES
Games belong to a new dimension of creative expression. And the special thing about them is their power to deliver the joy of Play. You can think of a sculptor as someone who creates with the three dimensions of volume; or filmmakers as creators of stories through the use of space and time captured by a camera. The art of games is about sculpting Fate.

As riches grow, empathy for others seems to decline...
Who is more likely to lie, cheat, and steal—the poor person or the rich one? It’s temping to think that the wealthier you are, the more likely you are to act fairly. After all, if you already have enough for yourself, it’s easier to think about what others may need. But research suggests the opposite is true: as people climb the social ladder, their compassionate feelings towards other people decline.

GAMIFICATION
Basic intro to gamification
TED Talks By now, we're used to letting Facebook and Twitter capture our social lives on the web -- building a "social layer" on top of the real world.

GAMIFICATION > HOWTO
A more even-handed look at gamification
"Robert Cialdini, influence expert par excellence has shown us that people are motivated by scarcity…kind of. Hierarchy is all about scarcity; while the unwashed masses huddle at the bottom of the pyramid, the fat cats who make it to the top enjoy all the perks of ascendency. However, the surest way to make people disengage entirely is to make them feel as though climbing the ladder is helpless. Research shows that if you tell a sick person they are ill without telling them how to remedy the sickness, they are likely to attack the opinion of the doctor rather than try to eradicate the illness. Without an accurate understanding of how to get there from here, we kill the messenger. However, when doctors give someone bad news and then provide an escape hatch, people are far more likely to comply.
As a result of this effect, many leaderboards only show the five people above you and the five people below you, giving you a sense that an incremental climb is possible. You may not have enough points to topple the leader tomorrow, but you sure as heck can beat that bozo two rungs on top of you!"

very very cool! an interesting extension (and obvious UI challenge) is allowing an annotation that draws on more than a single bit of text, ultimately also from different layers
