Prescriptions aren't required in many countries of the world. Protecting people from themselves is not a good reason. If it were lots of dangerous activities would be illegal. You can risk your life to make it more fun, but not more

I need that role. In a week I turn out what takes a team several months and many times they've already spent that many trying to show any visible progress. I've done the impossible since I was in college. Still am. I'm resent

Doctors that I know resent their lack of autonomy. They are executing algorithms, generally against their will. They know the patient will get over their cold but they want a pill. They over test to avoid litigation. They treat symptoms

Specifically pharmaceutical products. "This pill you don't know about will stave off a genetic condition you don't know you have." Cognitive dissonance overwhelms me.

> If you can just avoid dying, you get rich. Or end up a zombie startup. I'm not buying this stuff. It sounds more like an exploration of what works than a recommendation. Signs of success rather than suggestions for how to succeed.

I can't observe a bacterium without a microscope and I can describe all the material properties of a microscope. I know a microscope exists. I can see it.

That's what was asked for! Why on earth is the comment that properly delivers the expectation being discussed as though it's wrong ?

Yes it's an example of over commenting, which is exactly what the gp wanted.

And, strangely, it's the only response to the gp's request to define of over-commenting, yet it is downvoted to below definitions of good commenting. So. Weird. The other responses didn't properly implement the requirement

Can you define consciousness in a material way? Is it an energy or a feedback system? Can it be observed or quantified?

That fits with my observations matching the decreasing propensity to procreate with IQ. At some point we become literally too smart for our own good.

I feel empathy for even nonhuman animals, so yes I agree sometimes it can be a problem. Especially when empathizing with psychopaths and sociopaths. They have the worst feelings of all.

This is profitable goodness. This is what we should strive for as a society. I imagine it was quite a battle for the people who suggested this strategy against the naysayers. Listen to them here in this thread. I hear envy. Envy of the good
