But in college, I read Ashley Montagu's "The Natural Superiority of Women" and found no easy counter argument.<br /><br />My short rant would say whatever hormonal issues confuse women's ability to objective thinking in moments of stress, unmoderated testosterone in men make us collectively more foolish and sooner dead. Natural selection as much as culture designed men to be more expendable and while we're young and stupid, most men wouldn't have it any other way, and that's how male confidence works.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-87932057865294120502017-08-09T09:51:51.978-07:002017-08-09T09:51:51.978-07:00Telling the truth is illegal, immoral, and fatteni...Telling the truth is illegal, immoral, and fattening (if that's how you cope with getting fired).<br /><br />Ares, you are in TROUBLE, now.

Men and women are more alike than different, and surely the bell curves in any behavioral trait overlap. <br /><br />As a runner, I can get in the top 20% of male competitors, while I'd be in the top 2% of female runners. But probably the top 2% of women runners are just as competitive as the top 2% of male runners. <br /><br />And its not just averages, but breadth of variations too: there are more male geniuses and more male idiots, and perhaps some have a little of both, with idiot savants who can perform miraculous mental calculations, but can't figure out how to get along with others. There are upsides and downsides for everything.<br /><br />I see it can be fun to judge internal politics of Google, and maybe we know what really went on. Overall it does look troublesome to fire someone over non-PC opinions, but I'll leave that to the conscience of the people involved. <br /><br />I can wonder what I'd do if my "free speech" was being used against me, but actually that's a sort of point - speech is free if you want to carry the consequences, and other people have their own free speech to decide whether to associate with you or not.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-67381546047426792852017-08-08T13:39:51.581-07:002017-08-08T13:39:51.581-07:00Interesting article that actually got comments fro...Interesting article that actually got comments from scientists in the field, including one whose work was referenced - <br /><br />https://archive.is/VlNflLeo Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-7864170584994035752017-08-08T13:21:36.794-07:002017-08-08T13:21:36.794-07:00eBay v.

Who cares who they hire and fire? As SJWs and Progressives always do, their next major line of business (after AdWords) is virtue signaling ("moonshots", vast industrial-scale bird-killing solar magnifying glasses to boil water, broadband blimps, etc.) and junk products (eg, Google Glass for hipster Pajama Boyz).<br /><br />If AdWords (90% of revenue) collapses because it loses politically incorrect tech stars, GOOG is no more viable than the Chicago Climate Exchange without Congress or Tesla Motors without taxpayer-funded carbon reparations.trigger warninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310637474428322994noreply@blogger.com
