You believe the cost of firing and rehiring to be cheaper than simple empirical persuasion? My apologies but that does not sound like good leadership to me. It actually sounds like you may have deficiencies in your skills as it relates to l

Well history isn’t a feeling. It’s well documented how lenient the U.S. was with enforcing international law on Japans high ranking military and political leaders. The U.S. covered it up and whitewashed Hirohito’s role in WW2. It’s why Japa

Amazing it’s like you’ve figured out the optimal strategy of still spending the same amount of time going to the doctors but getting as few benefits as possible. I’m pretty sure you can decline care and get second opinions no matter what. I

It’s funny you chose Socrates for this example because I believe he isn’t confirmed to have been a real person but rather a rhetorical character created by Plato. Might be getting this wrong or new evidence has come to light, but I remember

I could believe this is true if you’re only comparing languages that have the same root or parent language such as Latin languages, etc. But I don’t see how anyone could describe the difference between Chinese and English as arbitrary or as

What’s the proposition to “electrify” trains? Batteries or a live wire everywhere there’s train tracks? Both seem really inefficient to me with our current technology.

I would’ve said try allergy shots but I did earlier in the year and they gave me awful side effects worse than the allergies themselves. I also get side effects from allergy medicine. I’ve used Flonase which is not an antihistamine with mod
