  $5 + one-week filter weeds out people without sufficient prefrontal cortex size (i.e., they don't have patience and can't understand the value of a future payout).

    Oh, there're plenty of idiots on MetaFilter. $5 curbs growth but is no indicator of intelligence. Trust me. Give credit where credit is due: MeFi's moderation team is hands-down the best on the Internet. It's astonishing how much shit they have to deal with and how good they are at keeping the site civil and high-quality without pushing too many buttons.
