Thanks for the example. Let's break that down. "It's a very rare woman who at the age of 30 doesn't consider having a child her primary desire." Evidence shows this to be the case. It is rare. "And the ones

He doesn't discriminate against men or women. There is no evidence of that in his hundreds of hours of lectures or interviews or books. His wife and daughter would also disagree with the sexist claim. As well as his many female patient

Obviously Google doesn't place values over profits. Let's be brutally honest here. Nor do the employees. Are the employees that make $200,000/year donating the extra income to those in need or are they buying things to engage

Ironically your comment indicates that you are in a bubble. You reflexively dismissed them by saying "red pill", which is precisely what your bubble tells you how to react to anything that says "Jordan Peterson". That&#x

It makes sense to base things on probabilities, but it also makes sense to play it safe in some cases. The upside of it predicting him/her is minor and doesn't outweigh the times that it gets it wrong. "Do you want to meet [n

> Telling a laid-off auto worker to switch industries is not a very fair thing to do. But we do that all the time and with good reason. Blockbuster employees and coal miners for example. At some point the jobs no longer make sense.

Too bad we didn't call their bluff, and especially that of the banks, and put the bailouts into infrastructure or new industry to replace those jobs and put us in a better position for the long term.

> HERE is a trivia question for you: what is the most profitable business in the world? You might think oil, or maybe banking. You would be wrong. The answer is academic publishing. Its profit margins are vast, reportedly in the region o

Make no mistake, anyone born into an advanced country is privileged. We are very privileged and lucky compared to someone born in the Congo. Beyond that it seems rather meaningless to attribute success to privilege over a multitude of other

> Lots of ways to subtly mislead with cherry-picked stats or the "men don't report reliably anyways, so we can't consider that" hand-waving this article does. Yikes, let's not be misleading in turn. That's n

They're wrong unfortunately. Biological sex has a strong scientific basis. The existence of intersex doesn't change that. This is a good primer on the subject from a liberal M.D. and source: https://www.playboy.com&#x2F
