		<description><![CDATA[The intuitive way for many to approach problem-solving is to go with the gut when time is short, then when there&#8217;s more time for data-gathering and reflection to bring all your rational tools to bear. However, research has indicated that intuitive insight actually works better for complex problems with many variables, and rational thought for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been writing about the research behind group brainstorming and more importantly, decision making. I&#8217;d like to take some time out to insert some additional observations. These are my own empirically-based heuristics, not conclusions from scientific literature. There may be correlations to the research, but let&#8217;s talk about experience for a moment. What follows may [...]]]></description>

In fact, hidden within the hype itself is insight not so much about Mr. Jackson as about ourselves.
