It never fails to impress me the inverse correlation that seems to exist (with few exceptions) between the degree of education of an individual and qualities like compassion and gratitude or humility and understanding. @Michael: I agree. In the new book by Johab Lehrer, how we decide, there is a description of ACC and the reward neurons that I am sure you will love, it reminds me of your paper about bee-brains! Peter, Michael, thanks for your comments!

Choice paralysis. Maybe this is why some of the simple people in this world are so happy... they know little BUT they act. Some of the more learned folks, know a lot and fail to act. My grand-grand mother was illiterate but she knew that the secret of life is love and the secret of love is giving. She gave from the little she had starting with the simplest gift of all, a smile. She was the happiest person I ever met, the most peaceful and serene. True, oh so true.
