- tlb 7y agoThe conclusion there is that "People who talk about their intentions are less likely to make them happen." But that's not a claim about causality. It can be explained by there being two kinds of people in the world: doers and blowhards.
- shawnz 7y agoTrue, but still, I think there's an important point in that talking more won't necessarily make someone more of a doer. It could just make them more of a blowhard.
