Assuming that I did not misunderstand you, while fight or flee does not exist in plants in the same sense as animals they do react by producing chemicals/sap etc. that works as a defense. So it's more 'fight', but a che

Too bad you are being down voted and being misunderstood. I fully agree with you that in this day given our over all productivity, humans should be able to, in theory able to design systems to minimize work without co-coercion. But as you p

What I'm also skeptical is about the "mounds of evidence". And no, I didn't start out as skeptic decades back. Check back my comment (the one that you responded to) some years from now and reach out to me if needed. I sk

Most firms who are going through a hiring process with you will ask you if you are in the process of being hired elsewhere. I think it's ok to say something thing like you have an existing offer on the table that you have not accept ye
