Do you have any fears that someone might get stuck in a permanent loop of eat > stoned > munchies > eat > stoned > munchies ad infinitum after you open your restaurant?

The idea that there’s an inherent issue with employee demographics not being diverse implies otherwise. Most people complaining about a lack of diversity in Silicon Valley are absolutely not considering the pool of qualified individuals. They’re looking for results to fit their worldview, i.e. they care about equal results, not equal opportunity.

Does it really though? Or are people just generally inside and less likely to get involved with risky behavior when it’s cold out. Are people more likely to do stupid shit when it’s 90 than when it’s 70? Also, when people say this are they dividing things up by socioeconomic status before comparing? Because those things can have a huge effect on dangerous behaviors. There are a lot of places in South and Southeast Asia that are hot as shit with the lowest violent crime rates in the world (Singapore, Hong Kong, Areas of Japan). Meanwhile Alaska has super high violent crime rates. I could see hot places like Africa and South America really tipping those dangerous behavior scales.

It also could be considered to be connected with biology. Black people have 15% higher average testosterone levels. A lot of the crimes blacks commit at significantly higher rates (much higher than their higher poverty levels) are violent crimes, and testosterone and aggressive behavior have a clear link. This is not to say blacks are any lesser than whites, this fact also helps black people excel in many physical activities. It's just a fact and an obvious cause that very little people seem to ever discuss.

This is also a potential factor in why black youths are often raised in single parent homes to young parents - since testosterone also has an effect on sexual activity.
