'Current Thing' PhD. Fundamentally Unserious. “It’s the dishonesty that bothers me. That is all.”

Garrett Jhones (who has me blocked) re-upped this study, that was editorialized heavily by Alex Tabarrok in a Marginal Revolution Blogpost.

Unfortunately for both Garrett, Alex, etc (Matt Darling), this study does not prove "America is starved for Talent".

Image The study looks at firms that apply and go through the H-1B process, it then uses an exogenous variation (an external factor), in the case the winning or losing of the lottery to study the randomized effects of gaining or losing the talent.

Note their moderate claim: Overall, our results show that access to high-skill labor is a critical determinant
of success for start-up firms.Image

No heterosexual man has ever said "Yeah I'm into her, but her career isn't going well -- I'm not sure it'll work out between us."

Ever.

In all of written history, never has a heterosexual man wished a woman had a more developed 'career'. You're imposing this on yourself. Sure, men are attracted to some degree competence (way less than women).

I'd like a wife who can handle having 5 kids, vacation logistics, being a socialite to some degree, helping me with ends.

If you interpret this as "I should grind for L5 at Google" you've lost the plot.

Marxists are literally incapable of communicating through their own thoughts and words, you might not like it but this is what peak efficient Marxist communication looks like:

"Go read a 200 page book". "This has nothing to do with Marxism, even if it references the material."

Because after dinner, everyone ought to counter-signal. So I tried it, well, the rest is history: I'm still counter-signaling, I love it, and he introduced me to something really good. Image And I know now the next question! Knowing you, being the interviewer that you are, digging in deep all the time, you will say now, "What does your wife think about that?" Image

Witnessed several young teens who hang out playing on phones put their lips ON the water fountain, what does it mean?

Very unsettling! Hypothesizing now that this may be due to the lack of a pertinent and present mother figure in their life; having been bottle-fed they view any nipple-like object that dispenses liquid as a mother.

The implications are immense.

It's so funny to me when women try to give men advice on how to pickup women, women are probably the last people I would trust on this matter. "If you are a man having trouble attracting women, you should do [really weird niche specific thing that I think I like]."

author's intent:

none of this is intended to denigrate or 'shit' on women -- these are just some rough numbers i pulled out of my ass to show that choices have consequences, you're free to make whatever choices you desire just please for the love of God do not write 50 op-eds in the nytimes about how 'men suck' and 'dating is hard' when you consistently chose to reduce your options in pursuit of other (legitimate!) desires whatever those may be.
