@vodkasnowflake @Eli_B_Again I can afford to eat out at places that don’t serve slop. But if you’re poor McDonald’s is not an optimal choice (health- and finance-wise) and don’t even pretend it is.

@DeepDishEnjoyer I know it's a double standard but it's a legit accomplishment for an attractive girl -- many don't have the drive and ambition to even aim for six figures. I've dated so many NYU girls who focused on looks over career because they just assumed that they will marry rich.

@TonightHere @RealDianeYap Look at physics Nobel prize winners for example, after Ashkenazi Jews the next highest representation is Asians. Just because you’re not personally familiar with how people like Isamu Akasaki contributed to the modern world does not mean that they haven’t.

@Devon_Eriksen_ If you’re arguing from a consequentialist vision of property rights then Emmett’s point is made even stronger—only protect as much as is needed for society to work. The all-or-nothing dichotomy you present is not only a false one but almost certainly a suboptimal one.

@sailaunderscore It’s a bit gauche to brag about accomplishments in general but many successful men are proud of their spouse’s career in and of themselves (not merely as proxy for high IQ). Definitely happens among the banker and “PE fund manager” crowd. It’s lower class men who don’t care about…
