Subject: Re: there is a simpler explanation about women and intelligence
wrong; one; my very best PhD student was female; smartest woman I ever knew;
she has decided to quit being a professor and is now an accupuncturist; that
is the point; no matter how smart, she wanted to be liked or some such crap;
also she failed to be brilliant when I made her leave Yale; she needed a man in
order to be smart; they all do

Note how Schank also takes credit for his former PhD student's brilliance, saying "she failed to be brilliant when I made her leave Yale; she needed a man in order to be smart; they all do."

This is the logic that allows men to justify exploiting women's intellectual labor for their own gain.

Everybody doing work to protect people on tech platforms, in fields like trust & safety, or trying to make sure systems were more responsible or accountable, often by taking on the most thankless and soul-wrenching work β€”Β that's who has borne the brunt of these layoffs. Which were executed cruelly.

I wrote this only last week, after saying that Trump seems about to wage war on Venezuela. It seems pretty relevant to what transpired today.

UK and Europe *must* reduce our dependence on America and its technologies as rapidly as we can.
