The central goal of the Center for Advanced Hindsight is to develop great insights about an extensive and diverse set of research projects. Needless to say, all of this work is done retrospectively. One might even go as far as saying “in hindsight.”

• Health Marketing – conflicts of interest in the medical arena, and the propensity (or not) to get second opinions among patients.
• Health issues such as overeating and obesity, sexual health, health care
• Cheating behavior & morality, forgiveness
• Counterfeits & identity, self–signaling
• Pain
• Dating behavior
• Placebos, natural vs. synthetic remedies and medication
• Taxes, especially with regard to America’s mega-deficit
• Opportunity Cost (If I buy these shoes, how many lattés must I live without?)
• Consumption Vocabulary
• Eye Contact and Trust
• General Judgment & Decision Making, Consumer Behavior
• Wealth Distribution (perceived, real and ideal)
• Self-control devices and incentive systems
• Diagnostic labels
• Development of practical applications (for iphones, etc.) and programs to save the world

• And, as always, focusing on the dissemination of Science to the greater public. At the Center for Advanced Hindsight, we firmly believe that our research is inherently useful — but more so when it can be practically applied and shared with the general population. When academic papers are exclusively circulated within their own incestuous elite, their impact is severely limited. Therefore, it is an important goal of the CAH to make research accessible and relevant to the masses.
