    The Worldwide C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Discussion Thread...

    HOT! 
    It starts with the prisons... then apparently college campuses. Law enforcement and "decision makers" need to be really careful to avoid sending things out of control. People are on edge. A collection of related problems has the potential to become the ingredients for gunpowder.

    Enneagram Test: What are you?

    HOT! 
    I took the Institute one. I think the questions were more interesting because they force you to make hard choices, sometimes between two close truths, or between two falsehoods. That tends to force the inner choice engine out of people, and reveals more. For what it's worth, here are my results...

    For perspective, there are plenty of drugs that will kill you at doses below 1 gram. Not to mention other chemicals. In the US chloroquine is prescription only (though its natural analog, quinine, is not). You won't find a chloroquine pill made for human consumption at a fatal dose, from a pharmacy.

    IS COVID 19 THE TIME TO FORGE AHEAD?

    HOT! 
    Yes, I think it's the time to forge ahead. We can win by attrition where others quit. And we can show our customers that we're reliable even in tough times, and earn their gratitude and continued business. Thank you Walter.

    Wrongful Accusation for a business: What Would You Do?

    We actually did the "get 15 5* reviews" thing a few years ago, because of an unfair negative review (someone else's customer we think), just by asking the actual customers to leave reviews after they were done with our service. Kept the process going on automatic. Now the business has over 200...

    What life goals (Outside Money) do you have? No matter how crazy!

    Yes, I've seen that one. There are plenty of fascinating things that need to be looked into. And the knowledge needs to be integrated. Antagonistic alleles, epigenetic activators, sirtuins, programmed endocrine signaling, management of telomerase, etc.

    Exactly. Don't just give them some mechanical answer that they file away. Give them an opportunity to work with you and make their goal a reality.

    What life goals (Outside Money) do you have? No matter how crazy!

    I plan to start and fund a lab for research into aging. I have specific goals for the lab past that, but I'm working on the "fund" part right now.

    Wrongful Accusation for a business: What Would You Do?

    In some cases you can flag reviews and comments on sites, and they will take them down. Some crazy once wrote a long google review on my business page that was nothing but an insult to members of my family (precisely as mature as "your mother was a hamster and your father smells of...

    I wonder if you could leave out 90% of the questions and still get a valid range. If you have profit and the stability of profit, don't you have most of what you need? And the customer doesn't have to get all the information. Give them a screen that says their business is worth 1mm to 4.5mm...

    Enneagram Test: What are you?

    I guess I'll read up on this at some point. I'm skeptical of the idea that a metric can capture a person's nature, or even a significant part of it. But at the same time, I keep a collection of metrics like this. A contradiction? The idea of giving for the purpose of being loved and belonging...

    So does that mean people can not rewire themselves, change their personalities, or metamorphose after extremely cathartic / catastrophic events in their lives? I might have some trouble with that idea.

    People can be multifaceted though. With Meyer's Brigg and DISC I answer somewhat conflicting questions in the affirmative because, I guess, there's some internal tension. For example, I'm generally very assertive, but I'll try to diffuse situations when I perceive people are at odds emotionally...

    We do have at least one person I know of on this forum who works as an HR outsourcing consultant. There are whole industries organized around this too, at least in the US. We have employment and payroll services, recruiters, and professional employer organizations (PEOs). It can be big business...
