@DueyBear Ya, like @Lord Zedd said, while they might care about it a bit more, it has to do with less freedom to choose, why those counties have more women in STEM.
It is more about poverty than freedom.
STEM is a guaranteed meal ticket in those countries.
So women feel it is the best options.
When you can be anything else reliably, they will not choose STEM generally.
It's not that women can't work outside of STEM in Russia, they can be teachers or secretaries if they want. But those are not as reliable employment.
Also, being a STEM employee makes it super easy to get immigration papers to the US.
Those aren't different things...... If you need more money, you have less freedom to make different choices that you may prefer.
True, but is the limitation of poverty not so much the government, but you are right, property/capital = freedom in most situations.
You can have money but have no freedom of movement and speech, but you can have no money and have all the freedom of movement and speech. Wealth and Freedom have similar benefits, but you can have one without the other.
Saudis are very rich but not free.
(also there are a lot of Arab female coders, moreso than white women).
I would say they are not "very free", but ya, close to what you said.
But with Arab women, because so many of them are homemakers, only women who have the desire and the privilege to work do, so a larger percentage of them are not squandering that opportunity and enter fields that pay well.
I'm not sure that's quite right, but who knows heh.
I'm off for now, catch you laters.
Who is or does anybody have a link to this soft gaming channel they are talking about?
I had to listen real carefully, they're referring to "Soph"

thanks c1pher
@C1PHER Thanks mate. I logged in today to ask about that channel and I see I'm not the only one interested in it, LOL.
I sort of knew what to look for because someone was posting clips on Twitter recently. I'm glad the superchat actually said her channel name.
I know who she is because she was a guest on the Dick Show a few weeks ago, and because I saw you guys talking about it before I watched yesterday's show.

This is an elected official? Breaks the law about PA being a 2 party consent state, then offers $100 for 3 minor girl's dox.
what a fucking cunt
I'm baffled by that girl, Soph. Do you belive that it's actually her writing the videos?
I mean come on! Younger teenagers don't talk like that. There has to be an older brother or someone behind it.
Unless she's one of those IQ 190 savant kids. But what are the odds?
She said in a video her brother helped her.
@Kael Climate Its not unbelievable to for a kid to be like that, my only issue is why so many people care....
I mean her videos are entertaining enough, but people shouldn't be idealizing her.
You also don't need a high IQ to understand reality.... Just exposure. (i'm never a fan of people talking about IQ's either lol)
I'm really not a fan of IQ being used as a stand in for a determination of someone's overall intelligence.
Ya
I'm pretty sure those ideas aren't high Iq but the jokes made with them sure are ;)
Now THAT'S high IQ analysis ! 😎
@wolfman1911 why?
I've heard folks like Pinker state that it doesn't accurately capture a person's proclivity towards success.
It certainly doesn't predict success entirely, because high IQ people can be a) lazy fucks who never do anything productive and/or b) sidetracked by their intelligence into too many intellectual rabbit holes and/or c) get totally obsessed with some problem that might be interesting or useful but doesn't lead to profit.
But IQ is still definitely a thing. High processing speed, good working memory, ability to solve problems across disciplines. It makes learning and integrating new skills and information faster and more useful.
