The Time Paradox: The New Psychology of Time

It’s been a while since there has been an amazing talk at google. This is one of them.

This really explains personality types a lot. You can take the test here. Here are my results:

Past-negative 2.70 Past-positive 2.78 Present-hedonistic 2.53 Present-fatalistic 1.44 Future 3.77

This is a graph with the 50% mark being “average” and the red dots being an “ideal time perspective” and the green being my scores. Clearly they think I should enjoy my past more (Past Positive) and live more in the moment (Present Hedonism). I’m mostly future oriented but you can tell I’m still below the “ideal”. Which I think rings true since I am very good at thinking about the future but not as good as I wish I was at enacting the plans to get to that future. Here’s more info on the perspective types.

Nick and Norah Interviews

In case you too are searching for Michel Cera and Kat Dennings interviews. Many are bad because they were at press junkets and half alseep since press junkets are ass boring. This one is good:

Update: This interview is also at the junket but it was great to hear Kat mention The Thin Man as “not one of the comparisons they were sick of”, clearly referencing the many Juno comparisons. Hilarious (and I agree with Kat).
