Thank you David, just found you. Great you did an interview with Richard!

Richard's book "The Geography of Thought" was serendipitously timed to accompany me in 2003 when I moved to China to live/teach there and did for the next 13 years.

I used his Chicken, Cow, Grass experiment hundreds of times with students and friends and noted how often the Chinese choose as Richard explained.

Thank you Richard, that book and your work in general enriched my life and I consider also those I shared your insights with.

Let us all continue to explore those various continents of thought with your book as one of our compasses pointing to the truth of the scientific method.

Looking forward to reading your other interviews and ones to come, thanks!

Enjoyed the interview with Richard Nisbett. Excellent point regarding looking at situational factors versus personality characteristics for causes of behavior.
