  • You’re not wrong about that interpretation, that’s definitely a solid one. I was taking it a little bit more “individualistic” hence my use of the word libertarian. I was seeing it more as him going “these people made their choice they deserve what they get” with no concern for the societal structures that may have put those people into prison. It’s also just how much he sees himself as righteous and better than others. However your interpretation of him basically just being the police taken to their logical extreme is definitely a true one, though I do find it somewhat undercut by the people stopping the “bad cop” are the “good cops”

    Yeah most reputable assessment developers have long moved away from shit like DiSC and MBTI, they were never grounded in science and just make the average person think ideas like personality are just pure snake oil when they are very complex nuanced topics.

    If anyone wants to know about way more valid measures look up HEXACO and take the 60 or 100 item measure if you want to actually get an understanding of your own personality (note anything less than 60 items for a personality test is either not a general test or BS)




  • You do that already, and it’s even worse actually because everyone has an even more individual and sometimes difficult to remember thing about them you have to balance in a social situation. It’s called a name. You have to be told it, you can easily forget it, and it’s a social slight to call someone the wrong name. Right now gender expression feels uncomfortable to have to tell people because of the politisation and stigma pressed on it, but it doesn’t have to be anything different than asking for someone’s name to better address them.


  • Yeah I’m doing work today so I can get you the exact figure. So this is kind of a composite of different research as we have two points here:

    • heightened pay disparity leads to all the outcomes I described earlier (Wilkinson, R. & Pickett, K. 2020; Bloom, 1999; Bloom & Michel, 2002)
    • research assessing what this level of disparity looks like in companies for CEO pay (n= 55,238, 45 countries sampled) shows that individuals roughly find justifiable pay should be between 5-10x the lowest paid employee. So if you have your lowest paid employee making 75k the CEO should only make a maximum of 750k to keep a level of perceived equity. (Kiatpongsan & Norton, 2014)

  • This is actually supported in the scientific literature as we know that once the pay disparity between leaders and employees goes over a certain threshold it starts to decrease basically everything for employees from wellbeing to basic productivity (I know the citation but not home and lazy to send it). Problem is most organizations don’t actually really want to make good effective workplaces that are good for everyone as they only want to benefit the people on top in the short term.



  • Cognitive ability tests aren’t that straightforward and no online random free one is going to actually be representative of a true one. Even traditional “IQ” tests are not just a number you get. Most people with ADHD have what we call “spikey” profiles on most tests of individual differences. This is partially because we just have different strengths and weaknesses from neurotypicals that comes out in testing and the other part is these tests usually aren’t made for people with neurodivergances and results tend to come out strangely (if you take any personality test based on big 5 or hexaco you’ll probably have way lower contentiousness scores for example). You aren’t a genius, but you also aren’t stupid, you’re just you with all the strengths and flaws.
