[FlashpointGT @FlashpointGT]

"The findings of social psychology and behavioral economics are being employed to determine the news we read, the products we buy, the cultural and intellectual spheres we inhabit, and the human networks, online and in real life, of which we are a part." https://t.co/1Y8ulAhFAj
