Free speech is largely an American thing. You may believe it's universal, but you would be wrong. It's not uncommon for religious people to think that the principles of their religion are so obvious and universal. This seems lik

Wait, how are problem solving and critical thinking not cognitive skills?

It does, if it's the exact opposite of what you're saying.

Arbitrary syntax rules. Why would they be surprised that people find it confusing?

This. But also the problem with the OP is they seem to show people samples of a programming language without any explanation, expecting them to intuitively figure out the syntax and semantics. There's no way this won't be confusin

That's not a fair interpretation of my comment. You said: > Evolutionary biology explains the way things are. Diversity measures combats that with the goal of getting us to the way things should be. But you provide no reason why you

Without further clarification or elaboration, your comment does not seem to make much sense. Consider the extreme case of children vs adults. Should we advocate for policies that force companies to employ children because we think it's

Given all the commotion about this memo I expected it to be some kind of a rant (similar to something I would write in 10 minutes), but it's actually a very well thought out and well articulated piece. Being fired for writing such a me

It's only linearly bigger I suppose.

I did not assume nor imply it's tiny in any "absolute" sense.

Sounds like your "friend" emotionally abused you into thinking you are a bad person. How else would someone think it's ok to be discriminated against?

What you found is correlation not causation. The cause is probably deeper, for example, lower IQ.

Not having a go at you personally, but saying it's not possible to be racist against whites is an obvious tell that you want to make policies that discriminate against whites, and therefore you are probably racist. (I'm not even w

What makes you think success at high school is related to wealth? I've never noticed any such correlation. My family was not particularly wealthy and I did just fine in school. You don't need any wealth to enter university. You ju

I've noticed in third world countries more women go to STEM than in the west. It's probably because of economic or social pressure. There's also no culture of "following your passion"; instead people follow what the

The problem is not with infinity per se. If the universe gets cloned one time every second that would still be a huge claim. A million times every nanosecond is even a bigger claim. Now imagine how many states the universe can be in, and ho

How would forking occur? Forking requires copying data. Does the universe get cloned infinitely many copies all the time? That's quite an extraordinary claim.

What? There's no reason to think that educational success is a measure of one's parents wealth!

As far as I know, the correlation between IQ and education success is very strong. If it wasn't so, IQ would be totally meaningless.

You don't really know that. It could very well be the reason. People are not all equally intelligent or hard working.
