Do you find yourself interested in the topic of self-interest?


I have on numerous occasions determined that I would be much more diligent to post with regularity on this blog. This determination has sometimes resulted in regular posts, and other times, it has been as effective as a wet spaghetti noodle in a log chopping contest. So, with some hesitation, I hereby say for the record that I do intend to resume some regular effort at updating this old web log. We'll see.

Meanwhile, one of the topics that has interested me in recent years is self-interest as a motivation for a variety of behaviours, if not all behaviours. So maybe I'll finally get around to sharing a few thoughts here that have bounced around in my big head for so long.

Here is an article from the Psychology Today website that I think you might find interesting. (By this, I mean that I find it interesting and I'm guessing that you, as one of my readers, are clever enough to be interested by things that interest me.) The article is a post in a blog called "Greaseless" by Dr. Loretta Graziano Breuning. It is called, "Self-Interest Drives Animals to Dominate or Submit"...CLICK HERE TO READ
