Can I just say how much I enjoy my hobbies going mainstream. Pro MMA fighter referencing Solid Snake, and earlier today the newscaster was talking about how psyched he was for Avengers and that he was going to dress up as Fury. It's over. We've won.

Or any position that requires an academic/research background. They generally ask for CVs instead of resumes though.

Thanks for the...question? Seriously though that's a fantastic point that I had not thought of. My experimental methods prof would be smacking me for assuming a causal relationship. Still, wouldn't the impact of SSRI's and other brain chemistry altering substances (which lead to a change in behavior) point to at least some sort of cause and effect?

At what point do you feel we should hold others responsible for their actions? For me, it becomes a very interesting philosophical discussion when we can explain behavior's origin via brain chemistry, and that if we shared a similar chemistry would probably be doing the same things.

However, we obviously can't let everyone off the hook even if their brain "made" them do it. Where do you think that line is?

Uh, for what it's worth, I'm a consultant that works in selection and in my experience when people ask for CVs compared to resumes they're looking for much more detail. That's coming from an academic/research-oriented background though.
