Well, after watching the video, I have two notes:
first, putting the ad after the video is a brilliant idea. :)
now about the talk, I don't believe in controlled psychological/sociological experiments very much, the real world is way too different from a room with 30 people working for one hour, the conclusions just don't scale to the real world.
In the real world, people don't generally accept your goals or congratulate you on them. Like if you tell someone that you want to quit your day job to start a startup, they would think you're crazy.
Also, in the real world, people will call it out on you if it doesn't look like you've achieved anything after a while.
