Politics, News & Issues > Energy Issues Will water become more valuable than oil?

5 of 6

This one comes down to simple economics. How much water is there in the world? Well, the oceans cover about 2/3 the planet, and then there's all the freshwater flowing across the continents, the ice caps, and the underground supplies in aquifers. How easy is it to get water, and then make it drinkable? Pretty easy. As just me... More..

Sciences > Psychology Has modern psychology failed its students?

5 of 6

Modern psychology has not failed its students. Modern psychology has a vast body of knowledge, stretching from engineering technology design to psychiatric evaluation, that is unrivaled compared to any other time period. Why?

Politics, News & Issues > Basketball Should college drop-out basketball players not picked in the NBA draft be allowed to return to college play?

If they drop a commitment, they need to know it probably won't be there when they get back. Let me draw an analogy: Say you're at work. One day, you're approached out of the blue and offered a...

An age-based system for driving at that age is ridiculous. If someone is able to drive well, why stop them from driving just because they hit a cert... More..

The current general consensus among psychologists is that money hardly has any effect on happiness as long as a person has their basic needs (e.g., food, water, shelter, etc.) met. So, of course you'll be unhappy if you live on the street ... More..

To understand why humans need pain, let us examine what happens to humans who do not feel pain: The condition is called congenital analgia. People with this disorder cannot feel pain, and sometimes cannot feel temperature. As infants, they tend to suffer severe mouth damage as teeth come in, bite off the tips of their tong... More..

Sciences > Psychology Is psychology really scientific?

9 of 9

As a psychologist, I'm offended when someone says psychology isn't actually scientific. This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of either science or modern psychology. Let's take a look at the scientific method (as told by Wikipedia), the basis for all science, and relate it to psychology. 1. Use your experience - c... More..
