For those interested in social psychology, I recommend _Influence: The
Psychology of Persuation_ by Robert B. Cialdini. The book elicited facepalm
after facepalm after facepalm as I figured out exactly why people behave the
way they do. It even helped me explain my own (often erratic) behavior.

If you're into sales or marketing, you're probably familiar with a large
number of "compliance tactics" Cialdini talks about. But if you're a confused
student like me, you have an eye-opening experience ahead of you.

If there was a feature that let people mega-upvote a reply at the cost of some
of their own karma, I would have just used it.

I cannot recommend _Influence_ enough. It does a great job of explaining
persuasive techniques and mentions some ways to defend against them.

The discussion about ordering a sandwich reminded me of the exchange in _Five
Easy Pieces_ (1972) between Jack Nicholson and the waitress who would not
allow him to deviate from the choices on the
application. Of course, we could track 
 units sell, but the solid idea would have given us much more datum points that 
 could be used for analysis and further growth - only had the scripts to 
 take them out never been implemented. Use number whereever possible to make 
 your decision.
