You said something positive about women. Don't be coy now

Indeed there are a few things women are better than men at, but they are almost all nothing of import. Lets see, women are better at expressing their feelings, they have a keener sense of smell, they have nimble fingers, they blink more more often and a few others.

Like I said, nothing that really matters.

Women have a much larger hippocampus.

They can adapt very quickly to changes, especially during crises.

They are the yin energy that allows for potential to form that isn't possible through pure decisive force.

And they are more in touch with their emotional nature, which is the opposite of men with their testosterone - sometimes the emotional choice is the best path forward and more intuitive to the actual truth. We are spiritual beings trapped within primitive, illogical bodies after all.

There are old mythological texts that describe the dichotomy well. The best modern book is It's a Man's World and a Woman's Universe by Dr. Pat Allen.

"Brain-imaging studies indicate that these differences extend well beyond the strictly reproductive domain, Cahill says. Adjusted for total brain size (men’s are bigger), a woman’s hippocampus, critical to learning and memorization, is larger than a man’s and works differently. Conversely, a man’s amygdala, associated with the experiencing of emotions and the recollection of such experiences, is bigger than a woman’s. It, too, works differently, as Cahill’s research has demonstrated."

wonder what they mean by "works differently"

The amygdala in nature is typically used for identifying and killing threats by reading their motives.

This is incorrect. The amygdala is responsible for encoding emotional memory and is particularly susceptible to negative emotions like disgust, anger, and fear. It is not involved in higher level functions like "reading motives" in any way. That's almost entirely the frontal cortex.



In terms of which group, men or women, are more adapted to the modern world, it's women. Not even close. Women are more consistent in their work and more likely to cooperate, and those are two traits that vastly dominate all other traits in our modern world for long-term success.

Ooo is this any good? Knowles is so elegant in his language and exchanges. Was going to watch this today but I’ll get to it tomorrow

Women that are self-made billionaires: 0
Women that work in high risk jobs without air conditioning: 0
Women that succeed in high stakes sales and brokering: 0
Women are great secretaries, yes. That's what the hippocampus helps with.
Women are completely incapable of building and maintaining the structure of empires, they merely adapt and use what men gave them.



For sure. I thought Jesse Peterson was the real highlight. They're both quite well read.

This just means that women tend to take orders from their superiors well and they make better workers. But it says nothing about their ability to innovate, to invent things, to be creative..etc. These things are what truly matters and they are almost entirely the domain of men.
