Violinist in the Metro

Joshua Bell
Joshua Bell (via last.fm)

An incredible social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people.

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning.
He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.

A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.

The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace.
He collected $32.
When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it.
No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.

Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats average $100.

Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:

If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?

Many times we tend to follow others blindly. When was the last time you stopped and looked at things with your own eyes, listen with your own ears, and appreciate anything with your own hearts?

Why Do People Think It Is Ok To Cheat The Stimulus Money?

This is a great video that provides a few scientific explanations to why people think it is ok to cheat and why companies like Enron cheat in the stock market.

And this speaker got me to understand why some people are “cheating” the stimulus money.

1. Alright to cheat a little bit - “It is alright for us to get a little bit of money out of the stimulus”
2. The connect to physical money is far - “It is just a government stimulus, I am stealing from anyone”
3. If my in-group is doing it, it is ok for me to do it too - “Other companies got a little bonus out of it, so it is ok for us to get a little bit of money out of it too.”

Premature Shift to Renewal Energy?

Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporting country, has just issued a warning against a “premature shift” to renewable energy. In related news, bottled water companies have issued a warning against a “premature shift” to tap water, and tobacco companies have warned against a “premature shift” to quitting smoking. Seriously, though—Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister gave a speech at the Energy Pact Conference saying that oil, natural gas, and coal must remain the energy “workhorses” for many decades to come—and that investing in alternative energy too early could lower levels of investment in fossil fuels and ruin the global energy economy. 

And all this despite the fact that the oil reserves in Saudi Arabia, which happen to be the largest in the world, will last only another 80 years if current production rates hold. According to Bloomberg, the Oil Minister said: “The days of easy oil may be over, the days of oil as a primary source for the people of the world are far from over.”

Well, if the country with the biggest supply of oil in the world says we have to keep on buying oil, I guess we’ve got to take their word for it.

From Bloomberg:

Switching too early to “slowly evolving” alternative fuels risks lowering levels of investment in fossil fuels and increasing market speculation on oil prices, [the Oil Minister] said. “The consequences can be deeply counter-productive to global energy security.”

Some saying about looking out for number one comes to mind. Of course he’s right—to an extent. As much as we’d like, there’s not going to be any massive shift to renewable energy that will swiftly sweep the globe. Integrating and developing alternative energy technologies into the global energy economy will be a slow, painful process to be sure. But maintaining a governing attitude that oil dependence is necessary for “many decades to come”—and all but ignoring the fact that global oil has peaked–is hugely counter-productive to effectively pursuing alternative energy solutions.

Unless you happen to own the world’s largest supply of oil.
