I agree with what I think is the spirit of what you say, but it's unhelpfully reductive. Many, many people who meet your criteria in fact are severely lacking in executive function…

I don't see how those factors are relevant at all, regardless of the race of the criminal. The problem to address is the lack of transparency. Trying to guess what inputs are being…

Of all the common internet grammar mistakes, I think apostrophes on possessive pronouns are the most forgivable. Mostly because that's the mistake I make most consistently.

The majority of responses to this are the same criticism I've had with the source material (Sandberg's book). A few twists and turns aside, the idea that there is a separate set of…
