Superfreakonomics
Are we really as altruistic as we might like to think? In the RSA's new animation series, we put into pictures Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner's case for re-evaluating the evidence.

Blue, red, and purple as explained through economic experimentation with green. So don't be yellow - watch and learn how perspective is not always so black and white. Orange you interested?

Re: Superfreakonomics
I think he said "homo economus," which is still wrong but slightly more forgivable, don'tcha think?

If they'd stop moving the camera away just before the end of each drawing, we could read his writing.

Sometimes we can see it better at a later frame. Try 0:53.

Yep, making up imaginary words about imaginary people: homo fauxbia

Not exactly the Urban Dictionary meaning, but I like it.

Re: Superfreakonomics
I had a class in the 8th grade called home economics. They made me learn how to do sewing and cooking while wearing a 1950s housewife apron. The apron would've gone great with a fishnet tank top and assless chaps, but I just wore regular school clothes.

I can heartily recommend Levitt and Dubner's 'Freakonomics', it's a great read.
