Discussion question for August 31, 2012.

The sense of time measures the ability to plan and think ahead.  Infants are born with no sense of time and demand immediate responses to their situation, while adults are able to make plans in view of short or long term futures.  How adept are you at considering an expanded future?  What causes you to shorten your window into the future?  What can you change in your life to aid in more effective cognition?
