To Be, or Not To Be?

All of us face tough decisions everyday, but some are more complicated than others.  Every now and then as adults we run into the proverbial "fork in the road," where we realize whatever choice we are about to make will inevitably change the direction of our lives.  So, is there a default option that will always lead us down the right road?  This is what the economists at Freakonomics are trying to answer and YOU can participate in the experiment.  Those who know me know that I love podcasts, especially anything by NPR and those relating to economics.  So of course I came across this experiment while listening to the most recent Freakonomics podcast.  Here's how it works - choose a question you are currently asking yourself, take a short survey, flip the virtual coin, make your decision based on the flip, and then take the follow-up surveys. You're going to make the decision anyway, right? So, why not let someone else, fate, whatever decide this time?
