| Jul 16, 2017 at 16:55 | comment | added | RichS | @SteveED It's not appropriate on StackOverflow to merely link to an answer. meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/289527/… The website you link to could change or be deleted. Please replace the link to shiftgrethor with a description of it. Thanks. :-) | |

I'm sure if we asked her directly (which she often answers, look her up) she would have many layers of answers and links to multiple psychological and philosophical concepts. | |
