RE: Mind Controlled Technology Pursued by Microsoft and Facebook
This has been a long time coming.
Hello Ghost In The Shell.
Oh wait maybe West World would be more accurate.
I wonder if a certain race or gender will be better at controlling machines. I had an idea for Sci Fi that the Patriarchy begins to lose its power because women are better at interfacing with technology.
That would be pretty scary, creating a whole new class in society.
Not only that, but many people would feel compelled to join for fear of being left behind. Then you'd have to expect a huge religious backlash where the cloth is telling people they're going to hell if they interface with machines. Fun times.
That would be a popular story, I think. However, my assessment of how people choose employment and education is that males are far more psychologically suited to such emotionless undertakings. That's really why there's so few women in STEM fields. They want to do things that involve people, not machines.
That's a hard sell, because women are pushed away from those subjects and ostracized at every turn. The willpower required to overcome this adversity is immense.

I bet the author of articles like this would say your attitude is part of the problem.
Of course you can always find the opposite conclusion:

So who knows. This is the age of information we live in, where no one can get to the truth because the Internet is flooded with everything; a problem blockchain aims to solve.
Many people would, but I'd disagree, and could provide plenty of evidence of my own encouragement of women in any and every field.
I admire and associate with intelligent people. I don't find that STEM fields are the sole province of intelligence, either, so my comment isn't intended to derogate the intelligence of females.
I also only stated my opinion that is certainly not authoritative, and welcome reasonable debate on any issue. IMHO, men and women are very different psychologically, and this has nothing to do with superiority, patriarchy, or intelligence.
You're absolutely correct that it's difficult to parse the internet =)
Such a kind and clear response, bravo!
