I think the idea that men can focus on skill development to date in a harder market is a valid one, but also misleading. This is because the dating environment for straight men currently is a highly unkind learning environment. (Namely the

I interpreted the comment differently. I thought it was saying that the pressures and anxieties of 'high anxiety' STEM people are not necessarily representative of the average person's experience. I.e. saying that the readers

I disagree strongly with "5. Identify what irritates people the most in others—because this is probably the trait they dislike most in themselves." Often what irritates someone most is if others have a different engagement style.

It is not inclusive to fire people for making jokes or writing books outside of work. It is active exclusion. It might be justified as trading one exclusion for another. But the act of firing like that is exclusionry, and think that that is

Seems pretty standard for large long term institutions. See universities and religions. Investing in this kind of stuff seems pretty tested and effective

Can not what you are convicted of also be biased? Statistically the gender bias in sentencing is very established / clear cut. There is a lot of academic literature on it. It seems strange to expect this bias to not have influenced thi

I read the book and I disagree. Ultimately creating a toxic work environment is not why they are going to jail, but for deceiving the public, and investors. Holmes (the person playing Steve Jobs) lead that. I have little doubt that if the g

"to protect transgender men and women, a class of people who are supposedly more “oppressed” than biological women. Even if this were true (and I’m deeply skeptical)" I thought trans people being oppressed was clear statistically

Googling it, Sholam Weiss served 20+ years of a 825 year!! sentence for a fraud that sounds comparable to Holmes'. He died two months after release too from a stroke

The methodology seems very weak. The author looks at stats but none of the statistics clearly have anything to do with whether science is hard or not. The whole piece is, imo, pure speculation masquerading as analysis.

The point is that DEI groups can seem very homogeneous, without diverse viewpoints, and they can weild large amounts of power. Posters above you have illustrated how issues of DEI are not investigated, if they happen to not fit into the age

Singular they is perfectly reasonable in British English. As others have said it is ancient, and modern. It is more of a purcularity that the singluar they ever became unfashionable.

To me this is speaking to the echo chamber. I am so used to seeing this type of message, along with "Politics is the mind kill" and I nearly always see both blithely accepted, perpetuated, and unchallenged. It also seems a ridicul

If you have a physist who is at the leading edge of their field you very much do want them teaching. How do you think you get the next generation of great physists? It is similar to how when growing crops, like wheat, you should take the be

I'm not used to either Biden or Trump, as I do not follow US politics much. I am also uninterested in spending much time analysing the video, and watched it portrait mode on my phone. I found many of the fakes convincing at a glance. H

What a mess. A) you are your brain chemistry. It makes no difference to the nature of love that you can point to chemical mechanisms. B) It is easier to cooperate between people with asymmetric wants and offers, as you a far more likely to

I find it funny how deeply sexist the representation of findings like this are. Essentially the finding is that men, according to their study, are hugely discriminated against. This lack of meritocracy is not considered or portrayed as bad,
