Itās the opposite of hoarding.
Yet, giving ourselves to others can be SCARY. Greg ponders deeply these emotions.

#Menticide is here & with it, a new attempt to establish a "#TechnoTotalitarian" rule over the lives of American citizens.
The final variant of #Coronavirus could very well be the manifestation of a #NewWorldOrder under #totalitarian rule.

That may sound absurd, but what is very concerning is that many talking heads in the media & even public figures are now making very carefully worded emotional appeals to logic to further induce a totalitarian #masspsychosis.

How we ask questions is important.
Some questions are *standardized* (e.g., surveys, scripts, instructions) and require reading out loud, word for word.
In business, research, law, medicine, etc., do people "just read them out"?
TL;DR: No. And there are consequences.

2. We might take it for granted that, when 'standardized', questions will be the same whether spoken or written. The examples in the thread will show they're not.
Without examining actual interaction, we won't know the clinical, diagnostic, legal, etc. consequences either way.

The world is causing #GlobalWarming through excessive #CO2 #emissions: The #CarbonFootprint, which equals CF per person multiplied by #population, of the current (2016) world population of 7.5 billion uses the carbon sequestration capacity of 2.4 Earths.
The maximum #sustainable (ā#CarbonNeutralā) #population at our current CF per person is only 3.1 billion. The maximum that would give everyone the current #QualityOfLife in the US, as measured by the UNās #HumanDevelopmentIndex, is only 2 billion.
Since the start of CF tracking (1961), 64% of our #growth in CF has been caused by #population growth and only 36% by growth in personal #emissions (CF per person).
The US is causing #GlobalWarming through excessive #CO2 #emissions: The #CarbonFootprint, which equals CF per person multiplied by #population, of the current (2016) US population of 323 million uses the carbon sequestration capacity of 3.7 Americas.
The maximum #sustainable (ā#CarbonNeutralā) #population at our current CF per person is only 87 million. The maximum that would maintain our current #QualityOfLife, as measured by the UNās #HumanDevelopmentIndex, is only 195 million.
Since the start of CF tracking (1961), 91% of our #growth in CF has been caused by #population growth and only 9% by growth in personal #emissions (CF per person).
No matter how much you love that toddler you are carrying around, if he weighs 25 pounds or more, there is a chance you could injure yourself carrying him on repeated occasions. Interestingly, two day's worth of saturated adult #diapers could be close to this weight. 1/

Our world is not environmentally #sustainable: The #EcologicalFootprint, which equals EF per person multiplied by #population, of the current (2016) world population of 7.5 billion uses the biological capacity of 1.7 Earths.
The maximum #sustainable #population at our current EF per person is only 4.4 billion. The maximum that would give everyone the current #QualityOfLife in the US, as measured by the UNās #HumanDevelopmentIndex, is only 2.6 billion.
Since the start of EF tracking (1961), 83% of our #growth in EF has been caused by #population growth and only 17% by growth in personal #consumption (EF per person).
The US is not environmentally #sustainable: The #EcologicalFootprint, which equals EF per person multiplied by #population, of the current (2016) US population of 323 million uses the biological capacity of 2.2 Americas.
The maximum #sustainable #population at our current EF per person is only 145 million. The maximum that would maintain our current #QualityOfLife, as measured by the UNās #HumanDevelopmentIndex, is only 253 million.
Since the start of EF tracking (1961), our #growth in EF has been caused entirely by #population #growth, more than offsetting a small reduction in our personal #consumption.
