Actually, I think the best solution is men only gyms. I belong to one and its great. Of course, setting these types of things up takes time and money, but it can be as simple as a rented garage with some equipment.

I think the MBA mantra that specific product expertise is not important: a widget is a widget, died with Jack Welch and Carly Fiorina (her career). Its still around but not nearly as much as 15-20 years ago.

Every time I make this argument people jump at the "religion" part. It has nothing to do with religion, it has to do with the fact that 1) institutions were bringing people together for a reason other than their 2) main purpose f

Saying anything even minutely good about religion always hits a nerve. Its hard for people to cope with the fact that not everything was always bad about religion, all the time. Also, somehow its always the people that never publish (you, I

Churches and synagogues in my town had literally, dozens of interest clubs. Ski club, scuba club, travel club, etc. Non were religious, the church/synagogue was more of a meeting place but driven mainly by congregants. Now religion is

"We don't really have a lack of third places per se." Yes we do, people traded all the good person-to-person interactions that are probably critical for human evolution for facebook. The churches and synogogues in my town had

I agree with everything you are saying with the exception of the fact that it seemed to be a better intermediary than paper currency. I think that is something the "end the fed", "bring back gold" people don't under

Dont deflect, the example is meant to show that your criteria for diversity, why and how, is dumb. Please give a better example or answer my original questions. I never said a diverse workforce is bad, I simply asked for concise examples on

I'm not an expert on this by any means but: Modern society needed something scarce and was hard to manufacture/process (thus ensuring price stability) to use as an intermediate currency between currencies. Those countries agreed t

Lets make a deal: I'll read your diversity books if you realize that meritocracies will never go away. You might be able to suppress them, but the smart people (and they're not just white people) will reorganize behind your back a

Could this not change in an instant though? "The US has an almost unlimited credit line because investors are clamoring for it. It's literally the best, most stable investment going right now. " Its hubris like this that worr

Answer the question, would the car be different if Henry Ford was black? Would the AC induction motor be different if Tesla was Hispanic? Would the transistor be different if Shockley was Asian? Shall I go on? Believe it or not, it doesn&#x

Does building the "missing middle" still mean paving what was once forests and making farms into town houses? If it is (which it is) then I'm all against it.

Economics is astrology partly because people like you believe everything at face value. Why on earth would " canadian sources" i.e. PR firms for big business shoot themselves in the foot by letting everyone know that the cheap lab

Why do you need to finish a project? Is not finishing a project considered "a failure"? I have 100's of projects too I never finished but they typically morph into something else or I realize it was a bad idea. I think not ha

Wages haven't gone up since 72. That wealth that should have been there due to a well paying job is now coming from your house appreciating. No one wants their largest investment to depreciate so to keep everyone happy, more demand is

I'm not saying there isn't criteria, I mispoke, I'm saying its not very objective. In other words, the criteria is so broad you can almost diagnose anyone with autism. Figuring out if a person has a particular problem is the
