    Is marriage an outdated concept?

    Are sexual morality and verified progeny and by extension responsibility to the children still important? Do financial needs that seem more relevant in our society matter enough to keep this going? Too many thoughts and threads to respond to, my mind feels like a bouncy ball in a paint shaker...

    Eating fish - the new evil?

    I think you have your answer in the content, even if it isn't direct. #FishLivesDontMatter

    Are you an atheist?

    @The_Doc_Man Thank you. This is the first well thought out answer I have ever received for this question. I'm accustomed to insults and angry quips (understandably so because this pokes a person deep). Thank you. I have so many things running through my head in response to this but I am...

    Is IQ > EQ?

    $4.99 Kindle version + 7.49 audible- it's a small risk taken. Thank you.

    Learning as an inelastic collision

    This is an interesting read but how do we use this knowledge? "Have an open mind but no so much that your brain falls out"

    Is IQ > EQ?

    Mea Culpa: I chose the name Insane_AI because I had seen elsewhere and liked it. I now get upset when I can't join a forum with the name even though I know it's not an original. I was in able learners classes for the gifted until our instructor had a bad accident over winter break. After that...

    Eating fish - the new evil?

    My first career choice was culinary arts. I started at my mom's hip, moved on to bussing & dishes then prep and line cook to culinary school and management. I've made the front page of the food section in our major local paper and had a few recipes published in neighborhood newsletters. Now...

    Is IQ > EQ?

    I would disagree with those psychologists based on my observations that complete idiots who know how keep people happy can be quite successful despite their intellectual deficiency. I like to think of myself as a bit of a Brainiac, I have the IQ to back it up at 152 (long time ago but I'm...

    Eating fish - the new evil?

    Proper foie gras isn't pate; pate is ground liver whereas foie gras is more like a force fed liver steak. (Okay, I'm getting tired and having more fun with this than I probably should)

    Is IQ > EQ?

    With a high enough IQ, and possibly some psychopathy, you can navigate the lack of EQ by making calculated decisions about how you interact. Why does EQ matter? Sorry Bee, I am trying to be provocative but also trying to explore and learn. I find the motivation for one's answers to be just as...

    Eating fish - the new evil?

    I order my veal with a side of Foie Gras, may as well do it with my sushi. I'm an unapologetic omnivore.

    The Grid - a productivity game changer (AMA)

    That sounds a lot like how I changed my diet. Make one change, get used to it, make the next change.

    The Grid - a productivity game changer (AMA)

    I may have to try this trick myself then. I find if I have to answer to someone else, I will get things done faster and more reliably. When it comes to doing things for myself, I find that I do things to solve problems first then if I have any stamina left in the day, I will work on those...

    Has divorce affected your mental health?

    Some do. This is going to be a "Bring Jesus to the table with you" kind of meeting. (Because He's the only one who will save you). I am demanding some changes to the team be made and now that I have an advocate working with me I may actually get the rest of what I need.

    Has divorce affected your mental health?

    Yes, I do Yoga, just not as much as I used to or as much as I will after this next meeting with my doctors next week (hopefully) As for CBD, no you don't smoke it per se. OK: there is a strain of cannibis called Charlotte's Web designed for high CBD content and nearly zero THC content that...

    Has divorce affected your mental health?

    The CBD helps with pain by reducing the inflammation - this helps keep my anxiety down because the memory of what the pain used to be is often worse than the pain I experience now. THC can alleviate anxiety in most people but the studies I've seen show about 10% of users will experience...
