tz1 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Stephen quoted the marshmallow experiment to see if children would wait in order to get two marshmallows. It needs an update for the current reality: You show the child one marshmallow and tell him if he waits an hour, he will get two marshmallows. The child either eats the marshmallow and it ends there or waits an hour. You come back and say there are no marshmallows for him - one was given to a child in China that only waited 10 minutes for his second marshmallow, and the other was given to a child with 10 marshmallows but lost them and needed a bail-out.
