Lex Fridman Podcast

NOTE

Embrace the Complexity of Biology and Culture

Everything we do is inherently biological, as biology encompasses the study of life and life processes, including cultural aspects which are a product of human evolution. There exist significant psychological and social sex differences, notably in career preferences, where individuals show a preference for jobs involving people or things. This psychological sex difference is consistent across cultures, with a notable effect size indicating a substantial disparity in means.
