My understanding is that they achieve "double-blind" by giving everybody either a low dose or high dose. So everybody gets mushrooms, and the effect is based on the difference between a low dose and high dose. Experimenters don&#x

It would be nice to have as an option for those who do have an interest. I suspect that most would have an interest in college level liberal arts and sciences if it didn't conflict with getting a job.

That's funny because I actually think that the opposite would be nice. You never know what technical knowledge you'll end up needing, so it would be nice to have technical education integrated with work throughout the first severa

"The Jargon File" might be a good place to start. From there, maybe read one of The Cathedral and the Bazaar , The Soul of a New Machine , or Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution . I read Fire in the Valley when I was y

I suspect that if 1,000,000 people across the country decided tomorrow to refuse to work for an unethical company, the benefit would be pretty marginal. They would just find someone else. But if 1,000,000 people got involved in political ac

While students do pay ridiculous tuition at private universities, very few universities in the US are actually "for profit". The administrators might make insane salaries but there are no investors profiting except in the case of
