My mother is ill, and her medication is the only thing that helps her get through the day. It's very expensive, and I'm responsible for her and my nieces. Everything is beyond my means. Any help, even a small amount, could make a difference and help my mother get her medication. May God reward you. #help #donations #humanitarian #donate #goodness #support #doinggood #charity #reward

New paper!

Many social interactions are founded on trust, even though a selfish untrustworthy behaviour often provides a larger payoff. Thus, an implicit or explicit reward is often offered as an incentive for fair behaviour. We show that the existence of such an offer is not enough to promote trustworthiness. In fact, counterintuitively, too large rewards may suppress trust, and lowering the intrinsic cost of offering a reward is not sufficient to boost honesty.

A quotation from Euripides

AGAMEMNON: For it touches all,
   Cities and men alike, that deeds of ill
   Find evil ends, and virtue prosper still.
 
[ἈΓΑΜΈΜΝΩΝ: πᾶσι γὰρ κοινὸν τόδε,
   ἰδίᾳ θ᾽ ἑκάστῳ καὶ πόλει, τὸν μὲν κακὸν
   κακόν τι πάσχειν, τὸν δὲ χρηστὸν εὐτυχεῖν.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Hecuba [Hekabe; Ἑκάβη], l. 900ff (c. 424 BC) [tr. Sheppard (1924)]

"The reason you begin tracking your data is that you have
some uncertainty about yourself that you believe the data
can illuminate. It’s about introspection, reflection, seeing
patterns, and arriving at realizations about who you are
and how you might change."
—Eric Boyd, self-tracker

A quotation from Montaigne

But I do not approve of what I see in use, that is, to seek to affirm and support our religion by the prosperity of our enterprises. Our belief has other foundation enough, without going about to authorize it by events: for the people being accustomed to such plausible arguments as these and so proper to their taste, it is to be feared, lest when they fail of success they should also stagger in their faith.
 
[Mais je trouve mauvais ce que je voy en usage, de chercher à fermir & appuyer nostre religion par la prosperité de nos entreprises. Nostre creance a assez d’autres fondemens, sans l’authoriser par les evenemens. Car le peuple accoustumé à ces argumens plausibles, & proprement de son goust, il est danger, quand les evenemens viennent à leur tour contraires & des-avantageux, qu’il en esbranle sa foy.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essay (1572), “That a Man Is Soberly to Judge of the Divine Ordinance [Qu’il faut sobrement se mesler de juger des ordonnances divines], Essays, Book 1, ch. 31 (1.31) (1595) [tr. Cotton/Hazlitt (1877)]
