What you described might as well be construed as the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectics , may it not? But yes, I agree, dialectics is my prefered method of reaching new insights. I tend to prepare my argument in advance so that it’s worthy of the my and the other debatant’s time by having a possible direction to move in. If anything should be encountered along the way, then every nook and cranny will be explored during the back-and-forth argument.

“Burnout can have its roots in childhood. Studies show that children who were bullied, who experienced abuse or neglect, had a parent in prison, lived in a home where there was mental illness, violence, substance abuse or the loss of a parent through any cause were more prone to develop diseases such as emphysema, mental health problems, substance abuse and obesity. These childhood experiences can predispose to burnout and the associated health and psychological problems in adolescence and adulthood.”
Not everyone has a traumatic childhood, but if you do or at least have something you need to get to the bottom of with yourself—do so. Problems probably rear their ugly heads in more ways than just burnout, so get to ridding yourself of them.

It details how people fallaciously through the centuries believe that it will be different this time, and thus contribute to economic crises. It should be a good read for rationalists from all walks of life as it gives an opportunity to learn from history. Those who don’t learn from that are doomed to repeat it.
Additionally we could have subcategories which the questions would fall under, most FAQs seem to categorize their questions to some extent, so why not here too?
As for me, I’m interested in having ideas for careers suggested. I know I want to do something energizing, something which allows one to be up and about and if possible also induce a little edginess in me. I don’t know what college degree to pick though. There’s so many possible degrees and jobs as well—so where does one start?
