That may vary - his pyramid is just an approximation, and not, in practice how each and every person actually behaves, nor "should" behave. In practic...

The dichotomy isn't as true as the OP is making it out to be, much as his claims are mistaken for a myriad of reasons. For example, the "problem of ev...

I'd assume he meant that being "injured", such as losing one's leg in a car accident, was a bad thing, but if you wish to interpret it as an intended ...

For more "serious" gamers or people interested in game design, there's a free ebook by David Sirlin called "playing to win" which discusses the design...

Not solely "Christian" theology.

Tricky subject, but I think that it's well documented, such as by biology or evolutionary psychology that not all behavior is "learnt", as in the outd...

What are people's opinions on consensual "domination" fantasies between married or couples (e.x. as depicted by some romance novel authors such as Lor...

To me it seems pretty cut and dry, but could you elaborate more?

The problem with these arguments is that presume a "good" to begin with. Such as that if a God exists, it would be "better" for him to care than to no...

Don't believe it's only "madman", rather people tend to act more irrational when they perceive a wound to their nation or pride has occurred. I won't ...
