=ACTIVITY: The Dan Gilbert TED Talk=
 * 1) Natural happiness is what we get when we get what we wanted, and synthetic happiness is what we make when we don't get what we wanted.
 * 2) People who did not like the stuff liked it when they owned it. Amnesics do the same even though they do not know they own it.
 * 3) People are given the option to get a picture. One group cannot return the picture while another group can return it whenever they want within four days. Both groups predicted they would like the picture, but after four days, the people who could swap were dissatisfied while the people who were stuck were still satisfied. The reversible condition is not conducive.
 * 4) Thinking sometimes makes you dissatisfied. Synthetic happiness grows easier when you have no choice.
 * 5) People in Brave New World can not choose their profession, so they have no choice. That is the condition in which happiness grows best. Freedom of choice can make on unhappy, so it is eliminated in Brave New World.
