For example, if 20% of engineering grads in your area are female, but only 5% of your job candidates are female, there's something filtering out women

Does the same logic to companies that have disproportionately higher rates of female candidates? 50% of Duolingo is female, but only 18% of CS grads are female. Isn't this clear evidence that there is discrimination against men?

Not matter how much efficiency you introduce, consumption will always pollute. Planes are twice as efficient as they used to be, but that also cuts costs which means more people will fly. For the same reason we have larger refrigerators. He said it's a good thing that oil companies have to lay people off due to declining consumer demand.

If you care about distractions from solving climate change, you should be complaining about political infighting and Netflix. Not someone fighting for the environment in a way you disagree with.

During the TikTok hearings, Congress seemed to be more interested in collecting sound bites than learning enough about TikTok to regulate it without resorting to broad language that can be abused. Do you think that the media can do something to reward effective policy making rather than meaningless virtue signalling?

Managing your carbon footprint is the only way to reduce certain forms of pollution. Livestock need to eat and commercial jets need to burn fuel to fly. The average Indian consumes 30x less meat than the average American. Imagine how the fertilizer in the ocean, trees deforested, and methane in the sky if 1 billion of them adopted an American diet.

Corporations couldn't care less about what you think of them, so long as they're making money. Game consoles are being sold out instantly anyways. Conversely, it doesn't make any difference whether they lose money because people are being less consumerist, a carbon tax reduces spending, or new regulations cost them money.
