Measure
I was recently reading an article I found on the web blog of The You Company about a way of measuring will power through a digital device. The full article is here: TYC
It was an interesting article for 2 reasons. As a person who works in digital I'm always in the latest and greatest gadgets and gizmos. The other reason being that it totally intrigued me that my will power could be some how quantified and measured.
I'm a diabetic which means I know a little bit more about will power than the average man in the street. Not raiding the biscuit tin, not drinking the drinks I like, being careful in what I eat - these are all daily considerations for me and it does take will power not to just indulge.
The notion of my will power being measurable then made me think about other emotions and reactions and if they can be measured the same way. Can I get a device that could measure my lust, desire or greed?
Outside of these things being measurable somehow the next question is would I want to know what they are? Would I really want to know that I am greedier than the national average? I don't think I do.
