Yes, really neat presentation idea. How is that done? Probably would take too much time for me ;-). I also find the cultural work on time interesting, but Zimbardo is also good to illustrate overgeneralization, causal inferences from correl., oversimplification, post hoc fallacy,etc. Pop-psych for the classroom....but maybe that's where the academy is these days? I am sure his evals are great, but what is being learned? He IS engaging and fun.
