Thanks.

The conclusions there seem to be roughly:

* Keep calm and carry on, because we don't have any better ideas

* Sometimes it's OK to eat the damn marshmallow (i.e. in the face of future uncertainty, remember to do things that make your kids happy today)

I kind of suspect that the first one in particular is more or less people's default response. But I also wonder about what changes people _have_ made, if any.
