This is obviously anecdotal, but I have a college degree and I certainly don't feel "in demand" on dating apps. I'm sure I'm not alone in that on a tech-focused site. I think the mismatch in college education is jus

I never understood the hang-up around women with degrees not wanting to date men without degrees. I've met plenty of people with Psychology/Biology degrees who wait tables and I've met plenty of people with advanced degrees w

I dont know when or how people got the idea that salaries are based on what a job is "worth" (a perfect tautology). Standard econ theory would predict salaries are based on supply and demand like everything else, not some metaphys

"I went to the market and offered $2 for a loaf of bread - the shopkeeper said no. So I offered $3, but he still said no. This must mean that no amount of money could possibly buy a loaf of bread and not that the price of bread has ris

What he's describing is the _end_ of diversity. A big monoculture. Not an increase in diversity.

You think that because you live in a society that's been designed around cars. if that wasn't the case, you wouldn't need your car so much.

This is circular reasoning. "Only mental health professionals can have an opinion on the matter because mental health professionals say so, and the opinion of mental health professionals is authoritative because it's a mental heal

Yes, I was never homeschooled, but my first reaction to this was "why are you surveying the parents and not the kids"?

The differences have been proven to be due to socioeconomic factors, not biological ones. But I'm guessing that fact makes _you_ uncomfortable.

None of these sound like choices that will result in a significant increase in privacy unless people, en masse, collectively decide to do it with a hive mind that doesn't exist. People are technically "choosing" the status qu

I feel like defining the requirements for work to be done is half the work. If I'm going to specify all the possible inputs and outputs a system accepts, I might as well write the code myself because I've already done all the thin

Is that supposed to be clever? I was making the point that our "survival of the fittest" narrative is the result of a specific social and economic system, not an inherent part of life. The distinction between "taking" in

That's an absurd false dichotomy. We don't need to choose between being okay with banks discriminating in all circumstances and discriminating in no circumstances. If you support banks serving the Proud Biys are you okay with them
