Hey Reg!  Thank you!  Great year of Sunday School 🙂

It’s often “framed” by people who aren’t facing the question and the woman facing the choice has already set aside “greater good for the child” question.

We don’t know how the individual women see it.  It must be pretty subjective.  As men, we never will understand it directly.

It can be argued that it’s very important soc…[Read more]

I frame the question of abortion as a healthcare choice.

It gets more complicated when the acts are individual (like whether to get an abortion) rather than social.

But the abortion question is framed as the greater good for the child – on either side.

After hearing Trump today on the spending deal, I have decided to stop listening to him and to Vance when he takes over. Who voted for Elon Musk, btw?

But the personality trait pages are dumb. Worse than the Myers Brigg test which is Woo.

I can understand that employers want certain personality traits and qualities, like professionalism, initiative, communication skills, agreeableness, conscientiousness.  But I don’t see how AI can dig those out.

I found the first 2 section Qts 1-17 easy and the Vocab section too. I collect unusual words. Jakelafort would ace it 🙂

But the personality trait pages are dumb. Worse than the Myers Brigg test which is Woo. If a HR person came up with that, they should be fired (from a cannon).  If fed to an AI to shortlist people for interview then that is…[Read more]
