You might be able to quantify internal culture, process and behavior, by applying some of the qualifiers from the human development index and happiness index to your company.

Just a thought.

NFTs backed by real fungible property. Own not only the picture of the zucchini, but the zucchini itself, which can be transferred or used independently as an asset.

I am joking of course, but stranger things have happened. You can own a farm, but have conveyable mineral rights, and land use rights, that render the whole of the property unusable by the owner.

Speaking of genetics, screening for the genetic profile of variable liver enzymes for known mutations and their associated drug interactions could actually save on the shotgun approach to dispensing medicines.

The problem is, you won't be able to hammer down the health of the patient to the lowest cost option, only the most effective.

So there is a price point, and I think we have reached it, where you can utilize raw sucrose to culture nitrogenous bacteria, which then is added back to the soil, not only increasing nitrogen concentrations but adding catabolizable biomass back into the soil. This is compared to anhydrous ammonia at $800/ton.

I see that this applies to intra-university stratification. Does this trend also explain inter-university stratification, i.e. major universities having majority asian and white students, and lesser universities having larger proportions URM as a majority?

Also, why was B.F. Skinner allowed to have so much influence on the way we structure our educational system?

GPT-3 looks like the best answer here. There are more than a few outliers I can think of A then B logic as written, which indicates a limited training set database of, like you said, a few podcasts and biographies.

Have the strains been engineered with a BAC or through CRISPR-type editing or something with Cre-recombinase to get over-expression of lactase?

Any out-patient nutritional studies showing GI intestinal biome data with positive growth conclusions?

When you live paycheck to paycheck, there is really no room to think about or espouse passion, value, or achievement. Language can be very hierarchical, and often creates barriers to entry between in groups and out groups.

While I understand what you are saying, unless you have some context, the above values are useless to think about and may even be detrimental, unless you have some sort of algebraic commutation of language.

However, if you can evaluate some of these terms in your own life, and find others that also value the same things, and communicate in the same terms in an interview then, yes that may work.

>so healthcare shouldn't be provided by private industry, but also not by the government... so, what? non-profit orgs only?

That would be a good start.

To some extent, health insurers, the health care corporations which make the payments, are non-profit, but the other half is still for profit.

A step in the right direction would be to require all business in that area, to be non-profit, to lessen the shock of just taking away the industry altogether and federalizing it.

I failed a philosophy college course because I expressed these same views in light of Decartes.

Why does this sound like, MIT doesn't know how to use rhetoric? Isn't that the point of their job as administration, to be the interface between the public and the institution?

"But these mechanisms work only if officials consciously activate them."

I wonder what is harder to maintain, a corrupt system for a few people, or an equitable system for many?

The joke here is that the word "novel" in grant applications has become canon, for many well funded labs.

If you chase novel ideas, you have to chase novel people and this costs, a lot. Can you compare the measured quantitative bias in a field with a qualitative assessment of the scientists?

Virtue doesn't extend down the human hierarchy even if you enforce it with violence.

On the coast of Senegal, fishing is the only way to survive. For those that don't fish, there are few jobs that can be had, such as unloading the fish, or sorting them for transportation. The rest join in the economy by taking fish off the boats, or retrieving the fish that have fallen in the water, or stealing them off the boats when they come back to shore. Even if the fisherman push them off the boats, and take back their fish, they will still come back everyday, because there is no other way available to survive. Ethics aren't afforded to a society where people still have to make life or death decisions on a daily basis.

By extension, developed societies are not afforded virtue ethics, when important indices such as well-being, happiness, and the full range of emotional satisfactions, indicative of an intelligent species, are not met. These are maintained by a network of both physical resources, and societal connections.

Maslow, again, comes to mind, detailing how the physical and emotional needs of a person can work to achieve a better human. However, in some modern societies the practical pyramid of needs gets skewed, to only a few people. Will it ever be perfect? I don't think that is ever achievable, but if the goals remain myopic, you may never be able to improve, unless there are interalgic and dedicated people doing so.

Virtue doesn't extend up the human hierarchy even if you enforce it with ethics.

You can disprove it by showing there are restriction enzyme, or Gibson, or Cre recombinase genetic element sites present in the genome, left over as artifacts from engineering. Find the sequenced genome and BLAST it for these sequences, easy peasy.

Could it stem from ἐπιού & σιον, roughly translated into the drink of zion?
