Hey Jack. Very insightful! Thank you. I would expand on some of your thoughts. I think that, in alliance with Pavlov, that once acquired a need is tak...
I am simply going off Pavlov's hierarchy of needs here. Seek and ye shall find stuff. The simple act of seeking inhibit nothing. Seeking items or idea...
Hi Julia, nice to see you again! I understand the outcome and, possibly at least, one "reason" for this type of events. I believe they happen, fur rea...
