Gladwell at the End of the World

I hadn't so clearly connected Jesus line to Judas in U2's "Until the End of the World"...

"You miss too much these days if you stop to think"

....to Malcolm Gladwell's book "Blink" 
(about "rapid cognition") ,

until I caught this from the "Top Ten U2 One-Line Lyrics" on atu2.com:

"Until the End of the World" illustrates a Biblical conversation between Judas and Jesus, but many of the messages can apply to our modern world — even everyday life among mere mortals. In this line, the voice tells the subject to beware of trickery. We could all take heed of such warnings..
