Bioeconomics

Mast-strap yourself!

"Take control of novel environments to constrain or remove bad behaviours.

For example:

Live on the fourth floor of a building with no elevator.

Auto-deduct pension payments from your salary.

Don't take your credit card to Las Vegas.

Delete the day-trading app from your phone.

Get a parking permit a mile from your office.

Don't get the key to the hotel minibar.

Move to Singapore (to stop taking drugs)."
