This is not scientific, this is scientific-ish. I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Stephen Dubner. And you're listening to No Stupid Questions. Today on the show, when is a good deed an invitation for more bad deeds?
Hello! The Duckworths are not here to collect your poop. Also, what is the most significant choice that a human being can make in their lifetime? Whether to part your hair on the left or right, I think is the obvious choice. Angela, I have a question for you about moral hazard, sort of, and poop angels.
Do you know what a poop angel is? I think I know what moral hazard is. Poop angels is a little tougher. So I learned the phrase in a post on next door, which is this sort of neighborhoody version of Facebook. I know next door.
