>> So you think that there are more incapable women than men in the world? Incapable of what? Never once did I say women are incapable of either career or motherhood. Women can efficiently do what they choose to. Juggling many roles o

I don't understand this constant fight to have 50%. There are capable women who climb ladders successfully. The other women who couldn't, simply couldn't, just like many men who couldn't. Also, pregnancy and breastfeedin

Emotional stoicism gets real world tangible results. But it doesn't let us explore our emotions in depth. As a kid, excessive emotions made me feel toxic because there is no solution to emotional issues. I learned how to block those em

What a great study! We engineers and rational-thinking oriented people tend to disregard how our emotions affect us on a daily basis. Makes me wonder... Would I want a emotion tracker (app or hardware) which lets me study ME? Yes Do I want

The predatory education system basically did the following: - Find the most gullible segment of human population - Lend them money with false advertising and without making sure they understand what a loan means And now they want them to re

When enough candidates walk away, it prevents the company from doing productive stuff. Not only did they not hire someone who could do something, they also wasted so much time interviewing instead of doing productive stuff. They'll fee

The point is: If the candidate asks a relevant question that the interviewer cannot solve in time, the company failed at its own game because the candidate proved that he/she is better qualified than the company's representative,

I recently discussed this with my girlfriend. I can only conclude that there are 2 sides to the story, let's call them 2 truths: Truth 1: No individual (regardless of sex) can run a startup as a CEO if they are incapacitated somehow T

This is the ultimate simulation game. This is the one game that taught me so much about simulations and my current job and interest in simulators. The number of ways I could affect a match was insane. It was great to understand the game and

True. Unfortunately, I can't remain humble when my date starts a brag-fest like high school kids. Humility is sometimes taken as cowardice or shyness.

Funny you bring this up. I was on a date last Thursday and this girl (29 yrs old) was constantly trying to figure out how she was better than me....IN EVERY FACET OF LIFE. For example, she went on and on about how she is a badass since she

We are back to medieval times! Seriously? Everyone gets a loan even if they don't understand what it means to get onto such a debt? What a predatory system! I'm so glad I graduated already. Sucks for my kids though. They have no o

The reason I brought it up is because of the irony of their demands. Most women want men who have it all figured out (aka grown up men) but themselves don't realize how imperfect they are. They'd rather spend hours on pinterest lo

IMO, humans, male or female, seek the best mate. "Best" is subjective but usually easy to understand. Men want youthful, beautiful women whereas women want strong, resourceful men. In enforcing monogamy, we ensured that male got w

You mean I should ask her why she's taking advanced stats classes in her male-dominated PhD program? Clearly she saw the opportunity and took it instead of complaining. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up being very successful.
