I think the majority of people are more in line with "that compulsion to do things that you know are not a good idea precisely because they aren't good ideas". It's not so much being conned, as weighting the short-term as being far more important than the long-term; people aren't dumb so much as insufficiently far-sighted.

Is that why I'm still thinking about taking a job opportunity back home in Kalispell (deadline is tomorrow) even though I know very well that it is not the right time?
