Radelet and Sachs (1998) attribute the Asian financial crisis to financial panic. Hamann (1999) concludes that currency crises lead to financial crises: collapse in exchange rates lead to the collapse of banks that underestimate exchange rate risk and accumulate vast currency reserves. Several other researchers including Delhaise (1998) blame the Asian crisis on overgenerous and indiscr eet lending by banks, especially western banks, and then switching to overly strict lending policies when market turned sour . Kim and Singal (2000) characterize “movement of hot money” as a major concern with policy makers in developing nations. Hot money investment is highly sensitive to inter est rate and futur e growth expectations, such that adverse changes in these factors result in lar ge changes in international flow of capital which exacerbates the shock, destabilizing the economy .

Similar to a computer, the untrained human mind whose protection filter is set to a low level is under constant visual attacks of all sorts. Given this, mental pollution acts like a computer virus, a code that replicates by copying itself to another program, document or e-mail, thereby seriously slowing down memory operations. Also, it can erase data or damage the computer's hard disk, which is analogous to long-term memory in the human brain. Interestingly enough, lab experiments on rats have revealed that these animals simply choose to starve to death when they are tempted by brain rewardstimulus circuits in quests for neuro-orgasms. These rats rarely attain balanced brain chemistry, while the orgasm they experience results in a hangover that lasts for weeks. The same condition is also true for the human mind; the unnecessary over-discharge of hormones triggered by electrifying visual stimuli can lead to long-lasting forgetfulness, fatigue and serious concentration problems. In such a case, a person cannot make sense of whatever he is studying until the side effects of mental pollution are over.
