He might be good with computers, but he sounds like your classic late teenage activist (not so clever):
"So you think its partly also about creating a male-only business network?
Im not sure its anything so intentional, but it definitely has that effect. If you look at the top levels of any industry, you find just incredible levels of misogyny.
For one example we have good data on, the FBI taped the executives of a major US agribusiness company, ADM. And so we have, on tape, some of the incredibly offensive things these guys said. Theres no reason to believe other firms are any different."
dude. This is exactly the problem. When someone thinks differently, they become quickly part of the other group. This is 2007. Every single one of us is supposed to be an activist on his own. As long as you are not taking away from others it is fine. Make your point, Defend your point. If 5 people in room always agree, then clearly that room is clearly not filled with intelligent people.
"If 5 people in room always agree, then clearly that room is clearly not filled with intelligent people."
This turns out to be not the case, if by "intelligent" you'll allow me to substitute "rational." People who are rational and honest should always agree:
I don't see the connection you're trying to draw in your last sentence. If 5 (edit: X) people in a room always agree, it says nothing about their intelligence.
Well Russ. The point is not the number.It's like saying your startup has only 2% chances of succeeding. It is just to say something the majority. In my case what I am saying is that not every one has the same opinion. And that is exactly what makes the Internet powerful. If we all wanted the same opinion we would read USA Today, but no we come here and find people who think completely differently from others. But the best thing is that within that group, they still think differently from one person to the other.
Again, if they are 5 people in a room and they always have the same ideas and principles, They are never going to learn from each other.
