<td class="snippet">If you wanted to train all of society to be as impulsive and weak-willed as possible, how would you do it? One way would be to invent an impulsivity training device - let's call it an iTrainer - that delivers an endless supply of informational rewards on demand. You'd want to make it small enough to fit in a pocket or purse so people could carry it anywhere they went. The informational rewards it would pipe into their attentional world could be anything, from cute cat photos to tidbits of news that outrage you (because outrage can, after all, be a reward too). To boost its effectiveness, you could endow the iTrainer with rich systems of intelligence and automation so it could adapt to users' behaviors, contexts, and individual quirks in order to get them to spend as much time and attention with it as possible.</td>
