* The Neuroscience of ‘30 Rock’: The episode about attractive people living in a bubble. They do.
* ‘I Still See Ronald Cotton’: Problems with eye-witness testimony in court.

Regarding * The Neuroscience of ‘30 Rock’: The episode about attractive people living in a bubble. They do.
I’d think it would be enlightening to also expand that “do they live in a bubble” research to include:
The markedly ugly
The plain
The weak
The strong
The wealthy (inherited)
The wealthy (newly rich)
I think they’d find that just about everyone lives in a bubble proscribed by their key trait(s), which affects their perception of the intentions of the words and actions of others.
