Part of growing up is learning or being taught that that people lie. So you have to do your own due diligence you have to vet you have to corroborate. You have to judge someone by what they do and not what they say.

You start by not just putting out simply by the guy be physically attractive. In the old days of patriarchy, the family would vet the man. They would vet the family. They would do all sorts of things to make sure the woman isn’t tricked by every handsome lying scoundrel that comes along. Since patriarchy is dead, women have to do this themselves. Vet the guy, make him wait for sex, have your friends find out his character, so forth.

Maybe don’t fuck a guy until you’re certain he has honest intentions? If women only slept with saints, there would be no devils. RP teaches that sexual strategy is amoral. So there is no point to castigating OP, even if what he does is immoral to you or me. RP judges by results. So if it works for OP, then he wins sexually.

Ban smart phones and social media until age 22. Delay schooling for boys for a year or 2 since girls develop faster (which is already done by wealthier families). Affirmative action for men in college applications. Ban dating apps completely for anyone under age 30. Higher taxes for people who never have children to pay for subsidies for those who do. Maybe none of these will work, or are unpalatable, but at least we can discuss the merits of ideas about how to solve the problem, including heari…

I never really bought the idea it was all white people panicking, though that was certainly a factor. Obama was elected in a landslide and was re-elected. My belief back then (incorrectly) when I was in college was that it was end of conservatism, because millennials back then were overwhelmingly liberal (millennial voted for Obama 60+ percent if you go look at those stats back then). I thought that each subsequent generation would be more liberal than us millennials, because that was the conven…

Your argument is about as useful as telling someone to change their circumstances by voting. It wont help them, though you’re right at a big macro level. Life is lived at the individual level, and everyone more or less makes a selfish choice based on their circumstances. It’s not crazy for someone with nothing and no prospects to do destructive acts, if doing so has a non zero chance of changing their circumstances, even if a delusional one. As for weak, unimaginative, foolish and lazy? That’s e…

Yes, but when 50% of gen z men are making a particular choice there’s something wrong fundamentally. What I don’t get about blue pillers is that on every other issue like 50% of gen z men participate in sports gambling, or 50% are drowning in debt and so forth it’s a company’s fault, the governments fault, regulators, and so so on and so forth. But when they’re struggling romantically? No one’s fault but 100% their own.

Most people try to pay as little tax as they can for maximum benefit. Now at an intellectual level, i know taxes pay for roads and security and such. But at an individual level, I look for every nook and cranny to maximize my after tax cash flow. The only people who don’t are extremely rare or don’t know how. The best thing possible would be for me to pay no tax (legally) while others pay tax.

There’s that African proverb, “The child that is not embraced by the village with burn it down to feel its warmth”. Fact of the matter is that more than 50% of Gen Z men voted for Trump, if we want to think of Trump as the “burn it all down” vote. We’re pretty lucky that the ballot box is still functioning as an escape valve.

Many societies in the past went to wars that disposed of their excess single males. So it’s not some strange suggestion you’re providing. But the other side of this is that if you want to go that route, you better win, because if you fail you will be destroyed.

The entire premise of capitalism everyone pursuing their self interest. All you need are property rights, which is just a function of those with property enforcing those rights with guns if necessary. I doubt 45% of men simply choose to have nothing. Greater than 50% of Gen Z men voted for Trump. Something has gone wrong in society, and it’s not because half of young men simply chose to have nothing.

You’re appealing to a broader sense of morality that individuals can and will simply ignore if it goes against their interests. You’re delusional if you think the vast majority of people are not selfish. If something goes against their self interest, only harsh laws, propaganda, and massive social pressure can get someone to continually go against their self interests. I don’t have a desire to burn down society because I have a stake in the system (in particular functioning capital markets). But…

If I have no children, why should I care what happens to society after my death? It’s a selfish question, yes, but ultimately selfish instincts drive almost everyone. What’s most rational to me, then, would be to extract as much value for myself while I’m alive and leave no legacy. But if I have children, that equation changes since it’s not all about me anymore. I’m actually facing this exact question now. I have enough to essentially retire and never work again in my late 30s, if I never have …

A bunch of non-sequiters. Obviously parents name their kids, but there's no link between someone's name and their ideology as adults. For example, Salman Rushdie's full name is Ahmed Salman Rushdie. I had a roommate in college who came in as a devout Muslim who prayed 5 times a day, and after college became agnostic and later quit religion altogether. Have you been to continental Europe? The Western European countries are way more feminist than the US.

This isn't something new. Cities have always been more liberal and population sinks, and rural areas have always been more conservative and have more children. And those children move to cities from rural areas. It's been happening since the beginning of...cities.

Dude, there's like books, movies, the internet, schools, universities, an infinite number of ways children break from their parents. I know lots of people from rural places who move to the city for jobs who ditch conservatism, or at least moderate. Like my parents are staunch social conservatives. I'm a more libertarian type.

In the long run marriage probably does benefit men more, but in the short run women have a much shorter reproductive window. So the woman is much more incentivized to get the man to either shit or get off the toilet, if she wants children. If a woman is 30, for example, she wants her man to commit and be tied down so he can’t just easily leave when the children come. Or if he does not want to commit, she wants to know ASAP so she can get to business of finding someone who will commit. Roughly sp…

Lol no. I have never heard of a woman saying to a guy: Look, you’re ugly, short, and poor. Also you’re a doormat and don’t go out much. You can fix everything except being short, if you want hot chicks. But you need to hit the gym, start a skincare routine, and make a lot more money, and maybe you’ll get that chick.

“Chemistry” is just a modern way of masking superficial factors. The more attractive the person talking, the more intense the “chemistry”. Nothing wrong with it, our species evolved to push us all to procreate with the more attractive people, whether it’s primary looks for men, or combination of looks/status for women.

That's just not true. If a guy is passionate about DnD they are not going to be interesting to women. If a guy is passionate about the outdoors and living off the grid, they very well become a hermit. I used to do kayaking and got really into it, and went out with enthusiast group, went out myself, so on and so forth. It always sounds super interesting, but when it comes to women, these enthusiast groups are 95% men, couples, or old people. No women had ever been interested in me romantically be…

At least now we agree this is in fact discrimination. Let’s now examine whether it benefits all parties. If one club gives women free entry and is successful, then other clubs would also do the same thing to attract the women. The women would then be able to club or bar hop, since they have lots of options to choose from. The benefit for men would dissipate, since the club with the gathering of women would change. Men would have to also change clubs, and keep paying new entry fees, even if they …

Discrimination is discrimination and should be banned even if it’s good for business. If a bar said, we only give discounts to certain races of people because they attract some of our more profitable clientele, then it should be rightfully banned. If it’s discriminating against men, why would that be ok?

Countries have tried giving cash to women for having children in addition to paid maternity but it’s only improved things marginally. https://www.vox.com/23971366/declining-birth-rate-fertility-babies-children What will be more likely to happen is that countries will eventually resort to restrictions on abortions and contraception, which is already happening in the US.

The fertility rate of the Nordic countries is around 1.3 even though these countries give parents a full year of paid maternity and paternity leave, and government pays for almost all of the cost of childcare. The fertility rate of the native nordics are lower than that of immigrants to the Nordic countries, so the wealthier Nordic people are even lower than 1.3.

It's certainly a good salary, but it's not really high status in a large metro area. You really need $500k to be able to comfortably flex, like own a nice condo in a hip area downtown, drive a luxury car, travel business class regularly, and buy bottle service.

Anytime there's a trade of value or scarce resources, there's a market. Level of emotional commitment, beauty, sense of humor, height, etc are all scarce resources, and thus a market forms. You don't need fixed locations like bara or online dating platforms. You just need a place to display value. Work, family intros, churchy, etc all are places where value is displayed.

I’m currently traveling in S America (Lima, Peru) and went to a popular night club frequented by both foreign travelers and locals, men and women.

It's not capitalism. North Korea has a lower birth rate than the Nordic countries. The Nordic countries have the same birth rate as the USA.

You’ve never seen a hot girl somewhere and thought to yourself, “holy shit I’d do anything to bang that chick”. 80% of the time that girl is in her 20s.

An average looking woman can go to a bar any Friday or Saturday night by herself, and the chances are really good that she will be approached, likely by several men.

No, the optimal strategy for a guy is to maximize the number of women who would be interested in him, then pick one. That’s because the chance of any particular woman being interested in a guy is very slim. A guy needs to maximize exposure, meet and talk to many women, and draw in as many as possible.

That’s probably not feasible. More likely will be bachelor taxes, which have been used by governments going back to Augustus in the Roman Empire. Governments could first try carrots, like exemption from taxes if you have more than a certain number of children. They could also ban abortions or birth control. Abortion bans are already here in the US in a number of states, and we’re probably one or two republican federal electoral victories from seeing it implemented federally.

The video was about Joseph Kony, an African warlord who was butchering people (and made money selling diamonds, gold, kidnapping, child soldiers, etc like all the other African warlords). It was a massive social media phenomenon, it was all over social media, major news networks, and even Obama was pressured to “do something”. Every progressive democrat was…

I guess you weren’t paying attention back then, but Joseph Kony was the leader of the Lords Resistance Army, which gets money from blood diamonds. It was a huge social media phenomenon and Obama even got involved. Every progressive democrat came out, and like most social media issues of the day, died as quickly as it started.

This is nonsense. In the workplace, most relationships are quid pro quo. You do something for me, for example compliment me in front of the boss for a job well done, and in the future I’ll return the gesture. You introduce me to a business prospect and I’ll send you a referral down the road. Women have that extra card under their sleeve of sex. Once you take that away, guess what, you have to prove your value to your coworkers, just like the rest of us men and ugly women.

Why would a guy sign up for that? Raising children requires huge amounts of commitment, money, and time. If they’re not your own kids, most men would not put that investment in, especially if they get no sex as a stepfather. If you have no kids, you have no stake in the future of the family unit, or even society for that matter. The rationale thing to do is to live a life of hedonism (or stoicism, or self actualization - the particular path doesn’t ultimately matter).

Yeah students. As students you dance with whoever will dance with you. Once they gain experience and go out socially, and get good, the younger follows get tons more offers. Doesn’t mean older women never get dances, but it definitely drops off.

I also know of a few guys who were really short, like 5’5” and below who met their partners through dance. However, almost without exception they got really good at dance. Like instructor to professional level good. But that would apply to any hierarchy. If you became a world class mountain climber, or skier, or chess player, you probably start getting women to overlook the height problem.

What is fun about dance though is that you see what happens after girls age. Young and pretty girls get all the offers to dance, and once they hit a certain age, the offers to dance dry up and older women have to go around asking men to dance.

I can chime in on this since I’ve been in Latin dance for over 8 years at this point. Dance is a great way to meet new people organically. It’s also a way to meet potential partners. I know a number of people who met in the scene and got into relationships, or hooked up through the dance scene. HOWEVER…a lot of the same dynamics in regular dating still applies. Dance will not make you more physically attractive. In fact, the guys who do well in dance are usually good looking and social guys. The…

They’re lying or delusional. I’m a straight guy and I can at least objectively say that this guy probably does well with women, certainly on online dating, assuming his in person personality isn’t off putting, probably gets laid. But every women on here is just focused on themselves. “I wouldn’t date him because he looks self absorbed”. Ironically being completely self absorbed themselves or just being lying virtue signalers.

If the quality is good, it fits your body well, and is still in good condition, then why change out your wardrobe? Frankly the fashion I see Gen Z walking around in today were basically what I saw people wore growing up in 90s. It’s not particularly new or exciting.

Men want jobs that pay a lot. When I was in high school and was figuring out what I should study in college, I simply looked up the list of highest paid professions.

Your link shows that the 18-29 crowd is 53%, which matches the Stanford data. Unfortunately the Pew data groups 30-49 together, so that 37% is probably not meaningful. The typical 30-35 year old millennial is going to be very different from Gen X. So it could be sampling bias where older people are underrepresented in the Stanford data. Nevertheless, on PPD everyone cares about the 20-30s dating. Nobody really cares what the 55 year olds are doing.

My experience in the city is that everyone does online dating. If a single guy says he’s not into OLD, it means he tried OLD and got no matches so he gave up dating. If a girl says she’s not OLD, it means she tried OLD, got too many matches, got P&D by one too many dudes, and gave up dating.

Why should the word “discrimination” have negative connotations but the word “standard” be okay? I would argue the word “standard” is more harsh and demeaning. If you don’t meet my “standard” for dating, doesn’t that imply that you’re “substandard” in my view? If there is a standard, there a must be those who meet that standard and those below who don’t. At least with the word discrimination, it’s an acknowledgment that personal dating standards could be somewhat arbitrary and oftentimes unfair?

It is discrimination. It’s ok to be discriminatory in dating. If people refuse to date ugly people, they are discriminating against ugly people. Discrimination is not just around race. You can’t have bodily autonomy without discrimination. Having standards is discrimination by discriminating against those who don’t meet your standard.

The picture will probably suck. Usually to get good pictures you take many pictures, taken under different lighting, poses, angles, etc. A dude friend will take a few, but unlikely to agree to take 20 for you. The better path for men is to hire a professional photographer for a few hundred bucks.

Anytime a group of men go out to do something 95% of the time nobody takes pictures. Nobody even thinks to take pictures.

The exception are the instagramers, “influencers”, or tik tok people, or if you go to Miami beach, and those dudes are usually insufferable.

Your interpretation doesn’t seem to make sense. Marginal utility must be higher the closer to $0 you get. Your first $10 dollars must be extremely high in marginal utility because it staves off immediate starvation. It would make more sense that at 75K and above, your marginal utility no longer makes you happier above your baseline level of happiness. So if you get a sudden $10K raise you are happy temporarily (though not as happy as the first $10K) but you fall back over time to your baseline.

Nah most retirees are dependent on social security. Long lifespans and high end of life healthcare costs will eat up the net worth of every one else who doesn’t have more than 2-3 million at retirement. Only small percentage of the population will actually pass down a meaningful estate.

Sure, but if you live in a practically 1920s style tenement with roommates, I don’t care if you have a masters in international development and middle eastern studies, you’re not UMC. Yet these types of women date entry level investment bankers and consultants in my city all the time.

Yes. Working class people are portrayed solely as hillbilly country bumpkins, or recent immigrants by the popular media. In reality the HR chick or accounts payable clerk making $40k a year living with roommates in an expensive coastal cities isn’t seen as working class just because she goes to Sunday brunches. Unless you’re making north of $100k a year or are a credentialed professional or have UMC family supplementing your lifestyle, you’re a lot closer to working class than UMC.

Probably because you don’t consider the HR chick making $40K “working class”, even though she’s closer to working class than UMC. In my expensive coastal city she would have roommates in order to afford rent, but she’s goes to the local BLM or women’s power rallies and Sunday brunches, thus she’d be painted as one of those coastal elites. Edit: As a side note, my city is full of women who make $35K a year at some nonprofit or NGO. They can’t even afford a car in the city, yet nobody seems to con…

My view of it is that men don’t care what career a woman has as long as she has one and is hot. So a UMC guy doesn’t care if a hot woman is a fellow UMC professional, or a middle class school teacher or an lower middle class executive assistant. For men it’s much more of a check the box - is she working? But a UMC woman is far less likely to date down socioeconomically. A woman who is a UMC professional will rarely partner with a man who is just an executive assistant, or blue collar constructio…

You're strictly defining lower class women as jobless working class people, so yeah a UMC guy would be reluctant to take her home.

Maybe she really wanted the sex and came onto him, and he didn't mind busting a nut. Maybe she's a butter face so he'll just use his imagination while banging her. But if he's not attracted to her, his alternative might just be porn or maybe a prostitute that's a close substitute for his needs.

Expecting a woman to be physically fit weight is the equivalent of women expecting men to be 6 feet, 6 inches and earn 6 figures. No it's not. If I throw you in a jail cell with a diet strictly consisting of water, corn gruel, and cabbage, all under 1000 calories, every single whining fatty in this thread will be losing weight. There is no way I can make an adult grow 6 inches.

Dieting is expensive only if you want it to be. If you want to go with the latest dieting crazes, or prepped meals, or pilates or whatever then it's expensive. You know what's not expensive? Just. Stop. Eating. So. Much. Totally doable unless you're morbidly obese, in which case you need surgical intervention. You can be a on fast food diet and not be fat if you exercise portion control. But requires discipline. So that's why it's a UMC.

In NY it’s 37 extra men per 1000, and in places like San Jose it’s 135 extra single men per 1000. It confirms what we already know: Silicon Valley is a giant sausage fest. The places where the ratio is least lopsided against men is in the deep South. The ratio starts the balance out by age 30 and even then Sa…

From what I see, the wall is probably over harped on by TRP. There's tons of men going after post-30s women and lots of post-30s women look great. However, after 30's a woman's chances of getting the type of attractive man that all women want start to decline precipitously, particularly men in her age cohort. Suppose you have a room of 10 men and 10 women who are in their 20's. Let's be generous and assume that about 5 men are the type of men that women find attractive or dateable. I'm saying ge…

The economy is being juiced by low interest rates and low taxes. If either of those factors change, there will be a recession. Interest rates will remain low. However, you can’t keep deficit spending at the levels we have now indefinitely. So I think if a Democrat gets elected in 2020, and is able to raise taxes (not a guarantee if Republicans hold on to the Senate), there will be a recession by 2021. If Trump gets re-elected, the recession probably can hold off for another few years. Realistica…

It's not as complicated as you're making it seem. For most financial accounts and property and life insurance you can designate a beneficiary.

Much cheaper than divorce lawyers if you have substantial assets.

What I pity about the opposite gender (women): Everybody judges your worth based on looks. If you're attractive, the world of men is your oyster. If you're not, you get nothing. If you're an attractive woman, other women hate you. Even though it's their bfs or husbands that are oggling and wanting to fuck you, the women blame you, even though your looks are innate.

Rich people can pay less for some services but not for others, for example: The ability to buy in bulk (consumer products) saves on cost per unit (ask Walmart) The ability to buy quality, which lasts longer and save money in the long-run (clothing) When dealing with banks and financial institutions, the more money you bring to the table, the better rates and deals you get.

It's not that hard for an attractive woman (in this day and age of Tinder) to be able to line up a date a week between Tinder and bar/club hopping. This is actually conservative, because from the phones that my female friends have showed me, women literally get hundreds of matches a day. If she only ends up sleeping with 1 different guy a month, that's 12 guys a year. Between 22 to 30 that's 96, and that's not counting college and high school, which can easily take it above 100.

I think the underlying reason why men tend to be gamblers is that being average does not pay in the SMP for men. Only being in the top pays, and in some cases the only the very top.

I consulted on a legal case where a blue collar worker got injured on the job. He was let go immediately. Of course, he sued and got some money out of it, but his new job paid something like 20% less. Blue collar workers are fucked when they get injured.

Well, their white ancestors killed almost all of the natives, and then continued to oppress the survivors until fairly recently.

Not really. Borders in Europe are slamming shut after the free for all a few years back. Immigration in the US has always been a hot topic. Even if the Democrats come back to power, it's unlikely we'll have immigration at any level comparable to Europe. East Asian countries have an even lower tolerance for immigration. If global development gets poor countries to be richer, their population growth rates will decline just like Europe and East Asia.

Overpopulation is mostly in developing countries where people don't consume lots of resources per capita. Huge population booms in Africa don't matter when a single American consumes magnitudes more than a dirt poor African goat herder. Almost every single developed country has birth rates below replacement rates (one of the exceptions is the U.S. due to immigration). It'll be a crisis in a few decades in places like Japan where there aren't enough young people working to support the old.

Yes. I think there is a pretty large difference between 26 and 29, but not a large difference between 20 to 23. Female fertility starts to precipitously decline between 32 and 37. It's even in the HuffPost. In a revised opinion released Wednesday, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists emphasized that women’s ability to have babies declines gradually “but significantly” beginning around age 32, then more rapidly after age 37.

I agree that a commute is a choice you make. However, that doesn't mean that there isn't a hidden cost that I believe should be accounted for in "work". A location closer to work is fewer hours commuting, but this usually means paying higher cost of housing and other general cost of living (in major metro areas this is almost a given). Higher rent means that you have to work longer hours, or have to have more lucrative positions which comes with higher stress levels, to maintain the same standar…

40 hours + 1 hour per day commute gets you to 45. For career jobs, there's often a few hours here and there of additional administrative tasks every week, everything from meetings or outings with clients or coworkers in the evening, checking emails outside of 9-5 hours, preparing presentations on your own time, etc. That's easily 50 hours of office work + commute + additional overtime.

No, I would define surplus as: Surplus = production minus consumption. If a man earns $100,000 at work, and spends it all on food, entertainment, hookers, drugs, all for himself, then he has produced 0 surplus. Surplus must be able to be consumed by other people, so it doesn't exist if all production by a man is consumed by himself. So if we have a society where there is no incentive for a man to produce surplus, men will generally not produce any surplus. So if a man is content with a roof over…

No, men would not have an incentive to produce surplus, or to produce value in excess of their own requirements. One of the main drivers of why men produce surplus is to attract women and to provide for their families.

Or if they do produce surplus, they will spend it all on hedonistic activities, from f…

Even if you pre-drink, you're generally not gonna stand around in a bar with no drink in your hand. Every bar you go to you'll generally get 1 drink.

Sure, jocks get laid but I assumed that in the long run they'll just be unemployed losers. In reality, the jocks end up making more money than me, and get to have tons of lays. In addition, white social circles that were generally open when I was a kid close off around high school or college,…

Let's be clear that this is primarily the Anglo/US/Northern European culture and mindset, not a purely "Western" one. Southern European (Spain, Italy, Greece, etc) cultures are far more family oriented. Yet Southern European men do not suffer from the same negative asexual stereotypes as Asian men (in fact it's the opposite), so I don't buy the whole Asian men aren't individualistic so that's why they're at the bottom of the SMV totem pole.

Even with exceptions like your mother, age is still a good proxy for fertility that will be applicable to 90%+ of women (probably). My point with Obama and Putin is simply that their SMV as president is astronomically higher than in their 20s when they were in their physical prime. I mean Putin looked like this in his younger days.

Obama can probably fuck a 10 if he wanted to without handing over a dime. Putin probably fucks a different 10 every night without handing over a dime. These men can pull hotter women in their 50-60s than they ever could have in their 20s. Aren't they "post-wall?" No, because women (with few exceptions) are attracted to power. So a man can increase his SMV by increasing his power. Physical power. Social power. Political power. This does not deny a male Wall. As a man ages, his physical power decl…

You're selling a product (you). Lifting, having a career, hobbies, social network increases the value of the product. The way you dress is like packaging, which is a form of marketing. Great product + shitty marketing = No sale Shitty product + great marketing = 1 time sale Great product + great marketing = Repeat sales

Do less for others. This includes giving away information. This is an example where I believe I transgressed by giving away too much: At my work I've often mentored or trained interns or new employees and giving them helpful information. I've usually seen this as a way to improve relationships with people (as you never know who will one day be above you on the ladder). During this year's annual reviews where we have to set a whole bunch of goals (a pointless HR exercise, but I digress), a new em…

Introverts obtain energy through isolation, and lose energy through interaction. Extroverts obtain energy through interaction and lose energy through isolation. This I believe is what we are born with and there is no point in denial. Introversion is only perceived as a weakness because Western society (especially American) rewards the outward signs of extroversion (i.e. being social, talking to everybody, expanding your personal and professional network, etc where familial ties tend not to be as…

People brought up in the current Western progressive system would be shocked at TRP. In every other place in the world with more traditional cultures would see 80%+ of TRP as "common sense."

TBH, this guy is probably getting enough benefits to offset the "cost" of being cuckold. He gets a life of luxury and leisure, sleep with Megan Fox every once in a while, and after her looks and fame fades away he can probably walk with sky high SMV and quite a bit of money in alimony. The time he has to put up with her is an investment in his future that is practically guaranteed a return. Between a choice of working long and hard for 20 years for a (uncertain) career payoff, and being married …

If I'm looking at a pile of resumes for a job opening, and I want to hire somebody who I think will stick around, I'll probably toss out the job hoppers who change jobs every 6 months. I don't know the individual circumstances of each of these job hoppers (some of them may have just been unlucky and would make a great long-term employee). However, if my time is limited and I can't go out and interview and test out all of them, I'm just going to throw them out if I have many OPTIONS.

A -> B, where B = Consensual Sex. "A" could be the set of actions C, D, E. etc, or any combination number of actions or strategies people can think of, but TRP is a hypothesis of what that set is. TRP cares about whether the elements in A leads to B. When you say C, in the set A, is hateful, or bad for society, or whatever moral or ethical statement, it is outside of the SCOPE of TRP, because it's irrelevant to whether A -> B. That's why it's amoral. The question is does A -> B? Period.

They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence." http://www.theguardian.com/l…

I think of the Myth of Sisyphus where Sisyphus is condemned by the gods to push a boulder up a mountain only to watch it roll back down, and repeat everyday. This is basically the rat race that the fast majority of us are condemned to run, but in order not to spiral into depression or to go insane, you have to find fulfillment in the struggle itself.

Introvert =/= shy or lack of confidence, which can both be changed with enough social interaction. Introverts lose energy interacting with other people and recharge being alone. Extroverts gain energy from other people, and lose energy being alone. So like me, you can be very gregarious, outgoing, life of the party but feel tired after a while. For me its about 2 hours.

I'm curious to know the economic backgrounds of the women in England who were raped. I bet they are from poor backgrounds. On the other hand, women in American colleges screaming about rape culture on campuses are most likely from privileged backgrounds.

I never said AI won't have judgment. But there are tons of judgment based decision that have to be made where there is no clear right or wrong answer. There are, in fact, a lot of questions that even the regulatory authorities are unclear about, simply because they themselves are arguing over the best approach. There is also the issue that the AI itself must be audited to ensure that the proper controls are in place.

"Pretty girls do not need a lot of education to marry into a rich and powerful family. But girls with an average or ugly appearance will find it difficult" and "These girls hope to further their education in order to increase their competitiveness. The tragedy is, they don't realise that as women age, they are worth less and less. So by the time they get their MA or PhD, they are already old — like yellowed pearls."
