Agreed, traditional values are often seen through rose-colored glasses. We trade one set of problems for another. Domestic violence, unhappiness, worse economic outcomes absolutely necessitated women’s empowerment. I agree with all of your

And yet, we’re having a discussion about a fertility crisis. A discussion that is happening in parallel with a discussion about whether or not the benefits of a college education are worth the costs, for either gender. And a political clima

Is it a truly a bad thing for teenagers to have children and then remain within their extended families and communities for support? Not forever, of course, but for a handful of years. I'd say that the claim 'teen pregnancy is bad

Don’t worry about if you’re good enough. You passed the interviews, you’re fine. You are not an imposter. Everyone feels the same at most stages...just getting hired, once you settled, etc. This isn’t a platitude, 80% of what people do at F

What some of us left Europe to escape. The irony of a monolithic ‘we’ at the New York Times lamenting a return to aristocracy. I understand it was 150 years ago, still comical.

That sentiment is baked into the culture here. I will never not tip a barista for handing me a muffin.

Punching up vs. punching down. Still a pretty mean thing to think or say.

I had a reply written for that poster, but decided against posting, but yeah, look up the USS Cole. The ship was ruined, people killed. Not talking about some military exercise, but about reality. Edit: wow, still reading comments, everyone

When people don't feel the need to guard their own position because they might end up getting screwed... I’m not sure this is too applicable to SV, lol, nor academic life in the US.

They address that within the manifesto: A Caveat: We did graduate from college, and we did benefit from having friends, taking cool classes, and acquiring ideas through osmosis. It is easy for us to suggest skipping college without ac

Your body is part of a global network of human beings, where social status and hormones are like, actual things that feed off each other. Here’s some research along those lines: joeytcheng.com

I’ve got a hypothesis that there is a set amount of testosterone possible in the world (or social group). More males = less to go around. It would make sense from a not-constantly-on-edge perspective as the amount of males per unit of terri

I mean, it's almost like arguing with someone whether or not the sky is blue. The idea the NYC has no meaningful counterculture is not only wrong, but ridiculously wrong at that. The Stonewall riots happened there for Christ's sak

Hey, honestly though...the name ‘M3’ de facto belongs to BMW. You know that. Everyone else who’s commenting on a thread about luxury cars knows that. The fact that you’re using that name to describe some upstart car company’s new model, it’

That’s the academic paradigm. Now imagine if you had no control, as an individual, over the number you see. In that case, it is always a thermometer.

I’d like to offer a comparison that may put it into a different perspective for you. Imagine saying that a 1 TB hard drive is excessive, 20 years ago. Sure, contemporaneously, but we sure did find some useful ways to put all that excessive

Would dealers be in a good position to transition into a sort of local power station? Would be a neat transition into a new business model.

Maybe encouraging riskier bets is a feature not a bug. With a lot of ‘free’ capital floating around, we’ve got people building rockets and AI, people researching how to bring the material resources on an asteroid back to earth. Really ridic

This thread is such an interesting look into a worldview very different from my own. I’ve always worked with the assumption that we’re territorial animals and that the claim to territory is backed by force, kinda like on documentaries where

If one had access to the deep order book of some security, how would one start learning how to trade it?

I agree. Is there language that differentiates between human processes that are in equilibrium/harmony with the rest of the non-human world, and those that are not? Artificial vs. natural is the first pair that comes to mind, but I do

In their game theory recreations, there are receivers and senders, but did they account for bystanders/third parties? Danson’s donation is only anonymous to people who might walk into the area, but to anyone that truly matters - to Dan
