Take two articles, one about the latest gossip concerning a skimpily dressed starlet, the other about Positive Thinking and self-improvement. The readers' ratio will probably be one million for the first, ten or twenty for the second. Am I being too optimistic about the second? At this point a question arises: is the human brain wired in such a way that makes people more interested in useless, petty, often vulgar stuff and totally (or almost) indifferent towards topics that could help them to live better? Or is there a subtle plan that makes the brain of most prefer rubbish to healthy stuff? Is or isn't there an answer to this daily occurrence?
