I’m not sure this varies by gender

That doesn’t mesh with my anecdata nor data on the proportion of housework women handle. But I do think the blame comment has merit.

Lots of arguments about whether this is purely historical or disguised opinion. The last paragraph suggests the author’s intention is to discredit feminists imo. Note the use of “G…

This is great news. There’s few companies in the world I want to do well specifically. Tesla’s gotta be at the top of the list.

“Playing politics” is is largely empathy and communication skills. Giving people what they want is actually not intuitive because, again, people are generally bad at communicating …

Former employee Edit: I cannot reply to the below, but I will say, that’s a pretty contrived justification for your view. Communication is hard. Few things done at a corporate scal…

Alternatively, this is just some guy asserting that everyone at McKinsey thinks they invented a brand new concept, when in fact, it’s just a heuristic they teach people to communic…

I think I agree. It’s also just not a very good chart, error aside.

One thing I love about anime is that when the authors really want to drive home a thematic concept they throw in these humble observations about the human condition and demonstrate…

The use of Christian symbolism as nothing more than an aesthetic is somewhat common is Japanese fiction. I wouldn’t say it made no sense though. The bad guys say humanity is fundam…

You mean... unsupervised machine learning? That doesn’t feel intellectually dishonest to me

I mean... yeah, that’s correct. The world’s resources are overtly unequally and inefficiently distributed.

You could argue that purposely designing things to last only a year when they could last ten years is purposeful destruction though

I believe this is the actual article https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/financial-services/our-i... Broadly it seems to be less extreme than Bloomberg’s summary and more nuanced t…

Fast fashion is bad. But I think the broken window fallacy is poorly matched to modern times. It’s useful to demonstrate why war is bad even if it boosts our GDP, but there’s so mu…

The money would go into something else, but it would probably be something stupid. A lot of the dumb startups we see now that are burning cash on obviously bad strategies exist bec…

Sure, me too. But historically, and also literally right now, lack of economic growth leads to revolutions and protest if people are poor.

Well, for one, that would vastly reduce economic growth. But aside from that, there’s not many things that fit X in the scheme of things you purchase frequently. Packaging / contai…

You’re writing this with the assumption that they were not explicitly told what to do by the Chinese government.

I’m suggesting it’s stupid to think you’ve learned nothing but false truths from advice. Edit: but for what it’s worth even in this stupid example. To learn from experience that yo…

So did you get hit by a car before learning to look both ways when crossing the street? Or did someone tell you?
