The Map of Critical Thinking and Modern Science
Jamie noticed an interesting map of
critical thinking and science done in a sort of subway style. You can track Newton and Einstein and Tesla and so on. It's actually pretty interesting to navigate.
There's still a lot of cultural pressure telling women (everyone really) that the important things in life are popularity, beauty, love, and child-rearing.
It's kind of a wonder that anyone at all goes into science these days. Maybe they should make a "Real Physicists of MIT" show.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
none of that intellectual potential goes into moving the frontiers of the hard sciences
Science and engineering are both pretty sucky careers, and like men have been brought up in an environment where male self-sacrifice is held up as an ideal and "Men Last!" is a highly admired sentiment. So it only makes sense that they would be dominated by men, in the same way that jobs that kill people are dominated by men.
Women are more than capable of doing these things, they just haven't been indoctrinated with the irrational willingness to sacrifice themselves that men have.
Blasphemy is a human right. Blasphemophobia kills.
Those that you mention are just the radical conservative ideology rants... nothing of actual substance there.
