Well, knowing how to “play with the other children”. Social skills that work with a variety of people are something you can’t get by studying alone. That said, it doesn’t take years and years to learn. On the other hand, there have been num

The good thing is we’ll see in the end. Lots of predictions. It’s almost as if you can’t be criticized for being too cautious. Sure, but the good will won’t last forever. The US accepts 22k deaths a year without blinking due to flu. Tha

That’s like saying I should never believe the labels on food. This container says honey. I expect it to be honey. If it is thickened sugar water, then shame on me for buying it, even if I’m not a chemist. If you are part of the government

On one hand women have innately different traits than men (but only good ones, except being physically stronger). On the other, women and MTF trans are the same because it’s all about how you feel and any differences are because of the patr

Sort of. Lots of things that normally kill healthy people have dropped to less than 5% of their previous numbers * car accidents * random street assaults * skiing accidents * stupid shit young people do when they’re roaming around bored No

I likely live very close to you. She should walk around with the video recorder on on her cell. At least the Bay Area is pretty peaceful. It’s highly unlikely she’ll get physically assaulted. Most famous diseases are names thus * Spanish f

When I lived in a country without clean water, lettuce, etc was washed in diluted bleach. You then put the lettuce in a spinner to get most of it off. Then you wait a while for most of the rest to evaporate. We have clean water so I expect

This. In theory it’s open, but in reality, people just want to get this work done mostly. Also, if something is that important, people can and do perform the same calculations using different packages or different algorithms. Write two alg

Exactly. The argument that you can’t find talent for less than 10m is crap. Comp is well known to not be a function of good stewardship.

Taking over a factory and putting people in concentration camps aren’t even close to the same thing.

This used to be more common. With the rise of (or rise of awareness of) divorces where the guy gets fleeced, it’s becoming less common. It used to be, it didn’t matter so much if she made 1/4 of what he did. Now, many guys won’t do t

Not true. Most successful people come from successful families. They sought comfort for the basics so they didn’t have to worry about the game. Hard work is necessary for a lot, but it’s usually a low-cost-of-failure work. Failing at a st

Manual kitchen tools - fork instead of mixer, string pull food processor instead of electric. Less washing, space, cost, and I can take them camping.

You mean you found some women who had it harder than you. Like you said, it was mostly women you spoke with. Also, women are conditioned to open up about their hardships more (in the US). I’ve seen my fair share of people die, slowly and s

It doesn’t even have to go to vices. Suppose 50% of the population is on UBI. Those 50% all need housing. What do you think the probability of the market generating optimal housing is? I’m guessing close to zero. Planned housing can do f

Broad statements which seem designed to yet again paint women as victims. Nobel winners are nothing like the average rich or poor man or woman in how much time they have. They are obsessive in how much of their time they put into their wor

This is the most insane idea I’ve ever heard. That’s like taxing teachers for overcrowded classrooms to induce them to lobby teaching schools. What a useless step. Why not just have these wait times (and other info) publicly available so

Just say you won’t pay for it. Show them the numbers, what it costs, what it pays, and say you aren’t rich enough to study a hobby. You need to study something you can support yourself with. They can always go off on their own and do it.

This. Pushing college the way we do helps to stigmatize the trades. Why don’t we push the trades? We give the impression they are “lesser”.

That’s crap. I have a set of knives in my kitchen that can be used to abuse women. Oh wait, they can be used to abuse anyone. Oh wait, everyone has a set of knives.

Except that was 200 years ago during a time of dire financial ruin. There are many countries smaller than most of our states. When you consider that the states wouldn’t have to maintain their own military, there are lots of possibilities h

Building codes have already made it so safe for the masses that fire departments often have a tough time justifying their own existence. Everyone is already doing basic mitigation unless they are breaking the law.

I disagree. If my house is in danger, I’m going to protect it, no the whole town. I already pay taxes for the town’s coverage but I cannot support everyone. I’m pretty sure wealthy owners have done the math and know exactly where altruism

True, but many parents divorce. The children will do better when the father isn’t broke because the mother took him to the cleaners and spent $200k on lawyer fees and then had him thrown in jail for lack of child support payment that he cou

You 100% made that up out of whole cloth. He said no such thing. 1) Most married women with husbands who would be worth something in a divorce don’t stay home. 2) Why do you assume she gave something up? Suppose she wanted to be a stay at

Power imbalance is the consequence of marrying up/down economically. Are you saying she should be able to control the fate of his company just because she’s married to him? You think this remotely makes her qualified? Attitudes like t
