    “Here’s the thing. No reasonable person has an issue with women having their own women’s activity groups. The annoying part is that whenever men try to do something similar, that’s a problem. Women either want them banished or demand entry, EVERY time.”

    My rpg club took the incdusivity road in the 2010, and is now a very inclusive/diverse place. We do have the blue haired enbies that riqht winger hate, and some old players who after acouple of beer starts complaining about RPG becoming woke (An inclusive place means they’re welcome too)

    We do have a couple of women only group and a point someone launched a men only table. While we had one of the old player complaining about the women only game, no blue haired enby complained about the men only game. So I have the impression that this whole women only space are OK, men only space aren’t is some bullshit.

    Note that, this worked becaused the gender specific game include people identifying as this gender, are the exception, and have a justification. It’s not I don’t like wo•man so I want only a gender but * I want a game exploring masculinity/feminity and therefore will limit the cast gender*



  • Does such NDA mean I am not allowed to buy/sell shares for this company in future?

    Ask the legal team about-it. However, typically only a few top-level executives (C-suite and the one having regular meeting with them) cannot buy/sell stock without a lot of extra paperwork.

    Knowing that we’re about to release a cool patent or We’re about to sign a big contract without knowing the whole details and their financial consequences means you can’t estimate how much the company will earn. And The global details to know the financial consequences are limited to a few people



  • The level of “endogamy” within the rich and powerful is definitely slowing things up. We have strong evidence that these people are all at least acquaintance if not friends. It may not be great for your career to investigate/prosecute top level politicians and billionaires. Actually the positive of the documents release is that people see it.

    Then a big factor is that being invited to a party where children have been rape doesn’t prove you partake to the rapes or even have been aware of it.

    Finally, money means that you can afford a lawyer slowing things down by writing various requests to the court. Your lawyer will tell you to save your money and do the necessarà/efficient one. But for people with virtually infinite money, a team of lawyer can slow down the things









  • The very slow is the issue. Assuming we can reach 10-20% of c, we can reach a couple of nearby stars in 200 years (Wikipedia gives me 50 stars with 30 ly).

    200 years is roughly the time from the Napoleonic era from today (Taking an Euro reference). Do you remember what your ancestor were doing during Napoleon Russian campaign or when US purchased Louisiana?

    Society changed massively since Napoleon. Over 200 years the society culture of a generation ship would also drastically diverge from ours. Moreover, I can’t think of many piece of technology which can keep working for 200 years without a few massive overall.
