Of course, human achievement is full of Pareto distributions. Same with mating - a small percentage of say 10% of men mate with half the women or so. Throughout history you have twice as many female ancestors as Male ancestors. Success accu

Wrong. Doctors would (hopefully) lose licenses and have big legal consequences. Mechanics are also subject to some form of objective measurement as even the average driver has some sense if a problem is being fixed or not. But psychiatry? F

Psychiatry is not a science. And their business model literally depends on you not getting better. Those $200/hr sessions aren't big business unless you keep coming back for more. While we're at it, let's prescribe some

Honestly men probably shouldn't be put in a position to be able to tamper with things like this. The evolutionary advantageous temptation is too great. Similarly, to solve a related problem, we should require mandatory paternity testin

"Science" has real problems. We can't even discuss controversial viewpoints, such as case-specific dangers with vaccines (yes, they are real, and the CDC covered up data) and climate skepticism (does lowering CO2 really do an

How do you know other native-born Americans wouldn't have started these businesses? The business conditions and technological readiness were ripe for talented and driven individuals, it just happened to be these fellas.

Ah, so you like winner-take-all economics where those who are already winning have it easier to keep winning. Gotcha.

I just need one person to explain to me: why should Amazon get better tax breaks and deals than the existing local businesses? Someone just tell me.

He made a bad tweet and paid $20M for it. That's fine. He can tweet memes and express himself all he wants. Least he deserves for creating literally thousands of jobs.

Amazing actually. I got laid way more being a broke entrepreneur (or the best: being in massive debt) than when I was a wage slave. Anything that boosts your "aliveness", like being on the edge of survival and success, controlling

Question: do investors usually vest at the same rate as founders, or at all? E.g. if they put in 1M for 25%, do they legally receive the 25% of shares right away? What's typical here? In terms of investor vesting relative to the founde

This is very valuable information the apps have. A woman menstruating versus ovulating are two very different hormonal states, and can at times appear to manifest as different personalities in the same person. Thus the advertising potential

Money is money, and status is status, especially to women. You think even criminality changes that? You know how many girls have said "I can't stand him" to my friends and then slept with me instead of them? Come on guys get

I used to think this too. Then I grew older, observed more of the world around me, and realized a fundamental truth. The vast majority of the population, 95%+, when given free resources, will choose to not work or do anything productive. In

Survival is the ultimate measure of rationality (as per Taleb). This is a higher order intelligence than stale test taking, or complete trust in the medical establishment, for instance. Low IQ is predictive of being mentally deficient. Aver
