Having been on the receiving end of female aggression and skullduggery from an early age, I would agree that pretending girlies are all passive angelic beings is a farce like no other.
They are human and humans are aggressive, greedy, envious schemers and capable of extreme cruelty. Not all humans, of course, but those that are badass are very badass and gender doesn't really come into it.

They are human and humans are aggressive, greedy, envious schemers and capable of extreme cruelty. Not all humans, of course, but those that are badass are very badass and gender doesn't really come into it. As I child I learned to feel that females were different to males in terms of anger and aggression, I owned the feelings of the saying that went something like 'girls are nice like sugar and spice'. It did have one good affect on me in that I always treated females with respect, and they always treated me with respect. It took me a long time to understand that my world was not the true world. |

I realised rather soon that the true world was full of psychos, so I had to learn to tread carefully. It's been nothing but disappointing in most cases but there have been the shining lights. There always are. What's important, I think, is not to rely on stereotypes to shape the world. It's better to rely on knowledge from experience.

AI will develop to the point where psychos can be identified and isolated from the rest of the community.

www.theguardian.com/science/shortcuts/2017/oct/25/why-psychopaths-could-be-a-force-for-the-greater-good?CMP=Share_iOSApp_OtherMost will agree that psychopaths are a bad thing for society. They’re into genocide, violence, reckless banking, sadistic political policies and sending deranged tweets late at night. However, a new study suggests psychopaths could act as a force for “greater good”. The research, by the University of Plymouth, found that when you need to carry out a bit of utilitarianism – sacrificing one person to save many others, for example – you might be wise to rely on someone with psychopathic traits to get the job done.

Probably because its true . " you might be wise to rely on someone with psychopathic traits to get the job done." That doesn't make it true. |

Maybe, but that is different from 'probably because its true'. |

I think you know what the Guardian was getting at ( I’ve heard this many times ) and I think that you know what I meant too but if you insist on swerving your mind zone thread into a pointless , petty pedantic and semantic exercise then feel free to do so. |

You can continue with the points raised in the OP whenever you feel like it . |
