Is there a way to re-frame LW as being about "charitable sacrifice" without significantly straying the general goal of "refining the art of human rationality" (which may or may not be charitable/sacrificial)?
What do you see as the essence of its current framing, and what is the evidence that women would respond better to the charitable-sacrifice frame?
(Normally I'd respond to the quoted comment with "That's sexist nonsense" and leave it at that, but I am trying to be socratic about it.)
(Also, if anybody knows or can estimate, are the gender ratios similar in the relevant areas of academia?)
All male biased as far as I know. (Math, philosophy, AI/CS)
Aren't biology and psychology solidly balanced/ skewed female?
psychology, yes, definitely. Bio, I do not know, but I would like to see what it looks like for evo psych.
