   Again, those statements are not contradictory.

   Because a human selected it for you to see. If I send you a book to read, the book still has content and value even if I didn't write it.

   I still don't think those are contradictory. If some women that worked with him share their opinion I'll readjust.

   No I'm just clear that the current state of science makes it impossible to draw the conclusion that you are. Note that this outcome goes both ways. We can neither confirm that biology is the main driver nor confirm that it isn't.

   You can't control for the social conditioning of gender. This is so fundamentally obvious I don't think you are taking the science seriously.

   You seem very defensive of Blow. I didn't say the things you seem to think I was saying. Sorry for the confusion.

   It's hard to control for social conditioning. I don't need to be able to tell you what the alternative is to be able to tell you that there are many confounding factors. Knowing what does not explain something, doesn't tell y

   I didn't say he thinks women don't have a role.

   This study confirms that there is a gender difference but it doesn't explain why. I didn't claim that there were not differences, but that they were not well explained by biology.

    Given the success of women in sports such as ultra marathoning, medicine etc I don't think it is that conclusive that women are not willing to put the hours into difficult and isolating activities. There are a great number of studies o

    I don't think he's said exactly that in his own words but I think on balance it's fair to say he doesn't seem welcoming about it. He clearly has right leaning and libertarian views, and seems to be not very articulate or

    The difference in participation within STEM between men and women is not well explained by biological differences. Blow has repeatedly claimed that it is actually the primary factor and seems actively disinterested in other explanations. Th

    The Witness would have been better if it was half as long definitely, but the problem was not that it was long, it was that it didn't have enough interesting content to fill the time. The puzzles are not mechanically interesting enough

    I guess I am just entirely wrong on that front. 10 years is a long time ago :)

    I don't hate it but also it's a deeply flawed game. It walked so that Talos Principle could run.

    The Witness was a slog, maybe he's learnt how to make puzzles which are actually fun this time.

    Yes people can and should have differences of opinion but a line is crossed when you openly campaign to eliminate the differences of opinion by curtailing the freedoms of the people you disagree with. Brendan is the one that crossed a line.

    If betting markets were regulated like financial markets they would not look even vaguely the same.
