Define unnecessarily

Yes, all PhDs are equal. But some are more equal than others.

Yeah, you're probably just biased against someone you know who has a CS degree, or is getting one. It's how humans work.

Exactly this. The whole point of these exercises is putting the inferior races in their place.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, become product managers.

The day 'discrimination' happens to you, you'll sing a different tune.

It's telling that the profound statements are inherently prosaic. So are they really 'profound' or categorized so because they can be tied to some kind of natural or observable or relatable phenomena. I guess that doesn't matter since we are tying this to prosocial behavior, the idea here is to identify what can induce the feeling of 'birds of a feather' (at least, that's my take of it).

The bullshit statements were easy to pick out because they're too abstract or require lateral thinking.

Agreed. And can't we just employ humans to do this? Give them a job and such?

This cannot be overstated. Also, we are treating this planet like we've got options elsewhere. This is setting people up for a rude awakening, whenever that may be down the line.

Because we can.

> Women, of course work as doctors for more that a single year, but on average they do work less over their lifetimes than male physicians.

What data supports this statement, or is it good old fashion common sense and gut instinct?

Or, if it's from someone I don't like anyways or want others to dislike/disregard: manipulative.

I am not sure how viable this hiring model is for companies that want to develop bleeding edge IP. Speaking only about development jobs: contractors are nomadic, they're not tied or married to your success or failure. From a developer POV, that's not a bad thing. You can just come in, do your thing, and move on to the next great adventure. From the employer side, each time you are training someone new to become familiar with your code base, your company intricacies and peculiarities, etc. which takes time and effort, and learning from failure, time for which may not be available. And the end result is that you may end up with a mish mash that doesn't work well together because the people who made it are gone or moved on. Also, developing is mentally exhausting. Not sure what dev, unless they're really desperate, will want to indulge this and expand that kind of mental effort for less payout or benefits. Or maybe the company only hires these for less innovative stuff or CRUD jobs.
