High salaries are the result, not the cause, of a company's success. A successful result cannot be produced without satisfying the (unstated)conditions which cause success. I'm editing this to say ...I see a major flaw. It could be that high salaries do lead to a company's success. Ex...

Hey, this is exactly what happened to me. Identical (two) outcomes Though I believe this type of psych. test has some merit, it also has a few limitations, in my opinion: It lacks sensitivity to important contextual disparity, i.e: attitude and behavior at work versus in a leisurely...

Thanks to both of you. It seems there'd be some level of desensitization from taking on patients that you don't have to interact with too much or follow up on (less attachment?). I had read that you put your own life in danger. I appreciate hearing that your (Adrenaline's) slight size didn't...

Thank you for responding. Glad you enjoyed your experience as an EMT and you found it meaningful. I never considered becoming a paramedic before you mentioned it just now, but it sounds intriguing. For example, Would you mind telling me a couple of things you most liked and disliked about...

EMS ("Rescue") Workers I'm considering a job as an Emergency Medical Service worker (EMS). Just hoping to hear from anyone who has is (or has) done this type of work; knows someone who does ...any info would be greatly appreciated!

I think I see what you're saying. You know, I notice that a lot --not all-- ppl in the scientific community seem to avoid philosophical issues/discussions. I find this ironic in the extreme, since most successful scientific pioneers operate/d on hunches/intuition first, on ideas not yet proven...

Yes, you have illustrated a few stronger logical "oddities" in some questions (as compared to mine). I believe most of mine use adequate logic. I definitely think that (at least) your answers on F and H have "won out" over mine. You seem to have approached those with greater depth than I did. I...

Here are what I believe to be the answers: A. New It is the only adjective/adverb in the group. The rest are n(noun) or combo n/v. B. Asset. It's the only one that can only be used as a noun. The rest are v and v/n combined. C. Furthest Unlike the others, a consonant...

In fact, you did hit a nerve by making a statement that sounded irritatingly close-minded and elitist to me; one I hear too often. This is a pet peeve of mine that I have difficulty tolerating in others AND in myself. While I offer no apology for my point of view, I do admit I could have...

Oh shame on you. You want disagreement? Here I am. Many of "us science types" are quite banal --rather than unique-- in our narrow mentality you know. There are countless "science types" who have an equal investment in the pursuit of "fundamental truth and facts" and spirituality. And by gosh...

Where did you find this statistic?!? All the studies I've ever read put the rate of completed suicides for untreated bipolar patients (Types 1 and 2 combined) at 20%, or a 1 in 5 chance. You need to be very accurate with your numbers. Bloating a statistic like this one can be dangerously...

I'm a Skinner fan. My mother initiated me into the world of musical composition and performance against my will. The reward for practicing was always verbal kudos and accolades. Though the praise was helpful, every lesson was approached with a spirit of resentment and resistance to the...

Belief/s can be based on inferences rooted in logic. For example, perhaps I was skeptical about the existence of psychic abilities (or energy). Let's suppose I test out a random handful of psychic readers (who remain unaware of the testing process). I present myself as a patron to each, with...
