    "writing academic papers is not that exciting" - one way to make it more interesting, just make up a bullshit hypothesis, then create the data out of thin air and wait to see how long it takes for someone to catch you - about 14 years of hide and seek seems a good return on investment.

      Yikes. From wikipedia - he was active in Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed, an Israeli youth movement. While he was preparing a ktovet esh (fire inscription) for a traditional nighttime ceremony, the flammable materials he was mixing exploded, causing third-degree burns over 70 percent of his body.[12] In his writings, Ariely describes how that experience led to his research on "how to better deliver painful and unavoidable treatments to patients."
