  1.  @persephonestardust2498  I want equality. I want women to spend the same amount of time in prison as men do when they commit the same crimes. I want boys to be protected as much as girls are. I want men and women to be treated equally in the court of law as well as the court of public opinion. I want actions to be valued over gender. I don't want attention personally, I am literally paid for PTSD, undo attention scares me when done in real life. But women are treated FAR better than men in society. The ONLY men they are not treated better than are 1 in a million highly exceptional men.

  2.  @persephonestardust2498  about 78% as priviledged as white women. Black men get it the worst out of everyone.

  3.  @persephonestardust2498  When women are violently murdered people care. Women have better lives than most men do regardless of race. Only very wealthy men are more priviledged then women.

  4.  @persephonestardust2498  Women are the majority of voters. Problems in modern politics are problems created by women.

  5.  @persephonestardust2498  uh huh, because men are totally at fault for everything and women are so oppressed, and I am the one doing mental gymnastics. This in spite of the fact that the laws and system are set up to support women over men, that laws attack men over women, that courts defend women over men. Did you know that in college the majority of students are women, and yet it is women who have special minority financial support? Did you know that the gender pay gap is in favor of women so long as we isolate people who do not have children, so that the only women who get paid less than men on average are those who choose to have lower paying jobs to spend more time with their children? Did you know that women are the majority of voters and gain the majority of government financial support while men still pay the majority of taxes. And yet it is women who are the victims and men that are the problem. And you have the audacity to say that I am doing mental gymnastics? Good job snowflake, but women are the supporters of the tyrant class.

  7. Single motherhood has horrific outcomes. Some things are considered child abuse because of the long term consequences of those things on kids. Measured honestly in the same fashion, single motherhood is the most horrible form of child abuse. Better to have been beaten and raped, the long term consequences aren't as dire.

  8.  @MandaB28  Thanks, I am also sorry if you were raped or beaten. There are plenty of horrible abusers out there that say they love you when they really don't know what love even is. I don't mean to undermine the experiences of people who were tragically harmed like that. I just want to point out that people seem to be more resiliant to that than to personal problems stemming from a childhood of growing up with a single mother. Literally, people who were rape victims as children fare better in the long term on average than children raised by single mothers do in the long term on average. Yes some single mothers are great, they are superb people with much greater ability, time, and resources than the majority of single mothers could ever reasonably dream about having. But most single mothers are not that, and it is the exception, not the rule.

  9. I am glad that feminists have made a game to help women understand what it is like to be one of the guys that they ignore, one of the invisible ones that they don't mention when talking about equality. The invisible ones, the male rape victims that outnumber the female ones in the US, the homeless, the ugly, the incels. It effects men most, but it isn't seen because they are effectively invisible and alone. I hope feminists can find a way to understand it.

  10. Racial factors that lead to promiscuity and poverty. People can accept physical differences in major phenotypes, but the second you mention behavioral phenotypes then you get called a racist. Just look at the "race" of the people in those poor and high fertility societies, I am sure you can find the correlation if you are honest with yourself.

  12.  The Flaneur  I have a feeling that would not be true if education included free daycare and lacked ideology and indoctrination that discouraged early motherhood. In effect education is simply acting as a hostile time filler and indoctrination against having children.

  13. I don't think countries relying on China is as bad as relying on Visa or Mastercard. China is very clear about its values, but Visa and Mastercard have been known to not process the money and transfer the money that you have paid them in certain times where they say that the person or entity that you are trying to pay has broken one of their unlisted standards. China is predictable and responsible, Visa and Mastercard are not.

  15. Trump is trying to prevent people with low emmissions from moving into the US and drastically increasing thier CO2 output. Trump is trying to reduce economic interest in Chinese manufacturing, the country that leads the world in causing man made climate change.

  17. I agree that emotions can't be divorced from the workplace. That being said, wearing exposing clothes is just as bad as sexually harassing someone. Exposing your body invokes primal emotions in people, and they are in that work environment without a choice to remove themselves from your emotional manipulation. There is a reasonable expectation of workers having exposed bodies in certain types of work. The people who chose to work at those types of establishment have de facto consented to being around workers in exposing clothes.

  19. If they will happily let you in and share information with you then are they a cult? If you do not let them in or share information with them, then perhaps you are the cult. The cult is the one doesn't allow outside opinions in, the cult is the one that won't look at evidence and instead stick to authority figures instead of math. I do agree with you on the term "cult" though. I am not a climate change denier.

  20. ChopperSakura, True, social justice warriors as a whole refuse to take responsibility for anything, including their own actions.

  21. I know nothing about you other than what you told me. Tell me if I am right. You worry a LOT about the future, more than your other friends do for the most part. You are more concerned with the future than with the past or the present. You frequently feel emotionally numb. The reason I think this is that concern of the future is related to anxiety. Anxiety is related to increased cortisol production. Cortisol inhibits sleep. Cortisol spikes memory based upon fear and concern, especially hidden dangers. Cortisol also inhibits all emotions that are not based specifically on fear (so feel less pleasure, feel less sadness).

  22. I love the idea in a vacuum on principle. The problems with it all stem from outside nations that don't do it. It also creates an economic incentive for wealthy taxpayers to turn traitor and aid the outside nation that attacks the basic income nation. Maybe one day, the entire world will become wealthy enough per capita that nations can start doing basic income without another coming to attack them.

  23. The legitimacy of governance relies on the possibility of the governed to opt out by moving to areas that are not governed. This is drastically reduced when there is no ungoverned land. The seas are the last bastion of freedom. If the seas become governed, than all governed land loses its legitimacy and all citizens are essentially slaves.

  24. I care more about what she has to say because she is pretty. I recognize the bias, but I don't try to fight it. Rather I recognize that people have this type of bias, and realize that one of my goals should be to be more pretty (or handsome in my case).

  26. T.K. The feminists who attacked my movies, my comics, my video games, and framed my natural inclinations as evil while attacking men in general while attacking the justice system. SJW's are a scourge to freedom and independence.

  28. How would mapping the nitrogenase's microstructure even at the lepton and quark level going to solve this problem? You going to use some type of particle accelerator to mimic the gluon field or something? I assume that is what you mean by the mazelike complicated structure, and I will give you that QCD is computationally intense. But I reject your claim that solving that mathematical issue would somehow magically solve the fertilizer problem. What I could say is that banks are using this stuff for encryption purposes, and that national power is being consolidated and privatized. Give me a real reason I should be interested in furthering the cause of quantum computing.

  29. The idea that powerful corporations and government compete is a myth. Governments work for corporations. Don't believe me? Check your local copyright LAWS.

  30. This, although I wouldn't do it still. But it shouldn't be unpaid position to take such a large risk. Perhaps a stake in the medication/vaccine profits that comes from the studies? Why is human capital not deserving of the same as other capital?

  31. The fact that you feel like you should do something in particular is a symptom of TED going down the toilet. TED used to be about how to do, not what to do.

  33. This is so much better of a message than how to be an ally in the workplace. Hint, only one of these videos actually promotes equality.

  34. There is a math video on YouTube labeled "the most important video you will ever see". You should watch it.

  35. I have to thank her, this has finally opened my eyes to what exactly I dislike about people like this. They try to tell people what to do, I mean I noticed that before but this is different this time. Her talk essentially tells coders what to code, what to do "for the good of everyone". I can't help but notice that she is overweight, does she do exercise for the good of me? Well why should I code for the good of her? Who gets to define what is good and what is bad? If one person must work for the good of everyone, than shouldn't everyone have to work for the good of everyone? If you code, make your AI benefit you. If people need AI to benefit them, they should be coding AI or hiring people to code AI.

  36. With the benefit of hindsight we can see that a lot of education programs of this time were intended to reduce the scores and performance of non black children to the performance level of average black children. They couldn't improve the black children so they chose to hinder everyone else in order to achieve equality and move towards equity. This is what focused racism looks like.

  37. Want to go get back at the ancestors of the people who sold the Africans into slavery? Go to Africa, those were Africans who were at the front of the slavery market, capturing and selling slaves in Africa. I am egalitarian, if that's not enough, than I am not your ally. I am equally opposed to immigrants of all races.

  38. A lot of immigrants coming in eating more and working less to help offset any gains you have made.

  39.  @oggyboggy8692  if you eat nothing, it is offset by 10 immigrants who come in and eat more. Literally EVERYTHING that has to do with consumption effects on the environment is an immigration issue. As of 2016 the US birth rate is under 13 per 1000 people. 21 per 1000 is replacement rate. This means our population should be shrinking. Less people eating has a much larger impact than more people changing thier diets.

  46. Not everyone should be concerned with climate change. Only those who benefit from society should be concerned with climate change. Those who are burdened by society should not be concerned with climate change, as it will damage society and limit its ability to restrict them.

  47. I agree, but I would also like to see sunset dates on laws. That is to say that the law is the law but has an expiration date. If in the future people don't vote to maintain the law, then the law gets dropped. How many crappy laws are still in effect because there is no good clean way to get rid of them? For instance, the copyright laws were intended to encourage innovation, but those old laws were written poorly and are now used to stifle innovation. If we had sunset laws, the copyright laws would have to be reinstated by the people, meaning that the laws would actually have to serve the people in order to stay the law.

  48.  @JimJWalker  Like cloud seeding to get it to rain at target locations. Would you like me to link you some of the very easy to find public webpages posted by the state of California on their own cloud seeding programs? I couldn't tell you the name of the group because I am bad with names, but there was a group that was seeding fine grain iron powder into the oceans as well. But if it rains here, then it won't rain there where it would have rained had you not seeded it to rain here. And farms east of California get screwed a little from time to time. Its a net negative, but some benefit at the expense of others. It's a band-aid not a cure.

  49.  @jadoei13  Its altering the situation. That is better or worse depending on your goals and desires. Not all people agree that this world order is a thing worth sustaining into the future.
