(I assume by gender you mean sex or cisgender.) The problems facing the two sexes are different and the expectations of them are different, at least in many societies. The expectations of a young man have been around self-sacrifice, self-co

Thank you for putting it this way. I watched people scam VCs with drone tech, and Theranos, and other things. Can people please do any amount of critical thinking around this sort of stuff? It steals funding from serious efforts and pollute

I highly doubt that the poster did anything other than try and conduct business with the tribe. Thievery is thievery--if it's okay on a small scale now, it must've been fine on a large scale then. At which point, we're just s

Well, we either have a despot or mob rule--hard to have both. Congress has abdicated its role, and the rot is now so plain that even a 78 year old can get the idiot masses to vote him in to do something. The thing about power...it only stay

I don't think you're reading me in the way that I intended, and I think you're being very uncharitable. I did not claim that their concerns about replacement were well-founded, merely that they were understandable. Again, go

Blue team is hesitant to use its power in a lot of ways, and due to insisting on consensus most of the time they are handicapped. Red team actually seems to know what power is and how to use it--unfortunately for us, they lack discriminatio
