50 Years Of Government Spending In 1 Graph by FelixPin TrueReddit

[–]adamwho 2 points3 points ago

The chart is misleading because it doesn't scale the budgets.

For instance defense, while smaller in percentage is much larger in dollar value.

It would be interesting to see a properly scaled graph

You know... the goal of business is to make profit not meet demand.

Vaelroth talks about how a military academy changes the personalities of people by nalcin DepthHub

[–]adamwho 0 points1 point ago

No I am actually doing the complete opposite, that is, I am taking a very narrow view.

There are even developmental psych people who suggest that the fundamental personality is in place by 2 years old. This view of "fundamental personality" obviously has very little to do with 'life learning' or with how a persons beliefs and attitudes will change after something like the military academy.

It all goes back to how much personality is genetic.

The OP which is talk about 'personality' in a general terms is certainly right that life experiences change attitudes, beliefs, and the decisions/actions a person takes... but I am talking about something different, more fundamental.

Great. What you are saying is that people have experience in life and that changes a person is some way.

But it doesn't actually change their underlying personality. Brain damage, a stroke... that can change your personality.

Psychiatry is a medical degree (MD). Psychology/counseling/therapy are not necessarily.

It doesn't really matter what I am. Does a stranger listing qualifications on the internet impress you?.... I didn't think so.

The resources/studies are readily available for anybody to look up.

I assume that I am not talking to children and they are able to google or otherwise research.

Try it for yourself.

I think you don't know much about experimental or cognitive psychology.

Maybe you think psychology is "counseling" of "therapy" but that is just one part.

Just take the time to look up some developmental psychology on 'when personality develops'.

Everyone agrees with you on Reddit and you count that as some great achievement?

Seriously, I am not here to spoon feed anybody the long history of research on this subject. You can take it or leave it... but notice, I haven't downvoted you for being wrong.

What can I say but point you to the field of developmental psychology. Maybe you can revolutionize it with your insight.

Indonesia cancels Lady Gaga concert because "She's a vulgar singer... she is the envoy of the devil's child and she will spread satanic teaching" by mepperin worldnews

Many people are too young here to properly remember the effect of Madonna on pop music. They see the superficial similarity between Lady Gaga and Madonna and their music and come to the wrong conclusion.

A similar mistake might occur in comparing MTV with YouTube when talking about music

Actually, due to Prop 13, the city takes a fraction of what you think it does in property taxes.

[–]adamwho -1 points0 points ago

No I am saying that the bunk of evidence on this subject shows that personality is set by a very young age.

I think you are confusing 'personality' with other traits.

I have been through military training, it changes how you behave not you underlying personality.

Sorry but the evidence is against you on this. Your personality is fully formed by age 7. In intro course in Developmental Psychology would clear up your confusion

Your basic personality is set by the time you enter high school, much less college.

The evidence in Developmental Psychology is clear on this.
