Just my suggestion, and probably a far out there one... I offer that people should be put in front of a machine with facial recognition and the most advanced AI available that can conduct a one on one interview with a person to determine if

So by agreeing, you are basically saying you believe in the idea of biological differences playing a role in the gender imbalance at Google? Or to put it another way, you believe women don't strive for the same things as men due to gen

I'm sure there's a name for this but a modern day label could be the "Facebook Syndrome", where seemingly endless goals of altruism is at its core, motivated by self interest and feeling good about oneself, to the detrim

There's a quip in the show "Archer" (forget exactly the words) where Mallory tells everyone something along the lines of "move up to my tax bracket and see if you keep spouting that socialist propaganda". I found it

America is driven toward having the information of the world encapsulated and fed to the masses as quickly and as often as possible. In my experience, this reflects any conversation I've ever had with most people in real life, give the

Consider a young child, maybe 5 or 6, who loves animals very much. Now consider that this child is living in the year 1991 and watching a documentary about Zebras on the National Geographic channel. Now consider that during the course of th
