thinkingsage commented on the word panarchy
Panarchy is a heterarchy rather than a hierarchy. More precisely it is both; it is a holarchy.

According to legends, the history of theriac begins with the king Mithridates VI of Pontus who experimented with poisons and antidotes on his prisoners. His numerous toxicity experiments eventually led him to declare that he had discovered an antidote for every venomous reptile and poisonous substance. He mixed all the effective antidotes into a single one, mithridatium or mithridate. Mithridate contained opium, myrrh, saffron, ginger, cinnamon and castor, along with some forty other ingredients.

thinkingsage commented on the word credentialist
(n.) The belief that only people with proper credentials should be hired. If you go to college, you implicitly support credentialism -- or at least you do not reject it. If you refuse to go to college, then you show disrespect for credentialism. That disrespect may represent a threat to hiring managers who are credentialist.
