  • I would hypothesize that they are noticing Batman on an unconscious level, but it was not salient enough to enter their conscious thought processes. And therefore if you replicated the experiment with an interruption to the daily routine that does not have superhero morality connotations (e.g. the gorilla suit) the result might not be as pronounced, and not as many people would give up their seat to the pregnant lady.

    But who knows? Pretty cool study!


  • This is why food addiction is really hard to deal with.

    You can still participate in society at large while avoiding alcohol, although there are some subcultures that are difficult to be in.

    But a lot of food addicts try to avoid specifically sugar, flour, and wheat, because those foods are the most addictive. But it is very hard to participate in mainstream society while avoiding proximity to these three things.

    Every restaurant you go to will have people eating that stuff. When you go to people’s houses they’ll be cooking and eating that stuff. Because for most people they’re not a problem, but for food addicts they are.
