Ada Palmer on Viking Metaphysics, Contingent Moments, and Censorship | Conversations with Tyler 

Ada love your appreciation for the complex messy reality of history and people in general

Now I wish I got into UChicago lol. Great episode

Wow! I think I want to go to Boston for a few classes ;)

i found the interviewer jumpy and non sequitar and interrupted Ada too much

My brother linked me here.

I'm actually kind of dumb struck by the bit at the end where she says men should wongen coded collaboration methods. We have been doing that for about the last 30 years in schools. Is arguably one of the reasons why boys have been underperforming compared to their girl counterparts. Uncle this whole female leaders are more peaceful thing was a meme on the internet a few years ago. When you look at your being history it actually turns out that female leaders per capita started more wars than male leaders. Another gatica had which I was going to be quiet about until I heard her make the sexist accusation that women or somehow more peaceful and cooperative what's her assertion that gender is 90% culture. He actually brings up the way women walk, and won't yes it's true that culture dictates that women exaggerating their hip movement is desirable. It is also true that woman's hips move back and forth more than men's heads because they're pelvis literally has a different angle. The differences in help men and women walk is biological befoy it is cultural. He also brings up a bit about menstruation, he seems to not realize that menstruation is one of the possible reasons for white women historically wore skirts. Simulat to how babies of both genders wore gowns untill the invention of the midden diaper. This was a very informative interview however I get the feeling that this woman self censored herself a bit.

Interesting. I am often struck by Ada Palmer's intelligence while simultaneously how naive she is in her liberalism. Democracy is a sham. There is only borgoise rule and class war.

Sorry. Not very interesting.
