Autists are a tiny minority (2-5% of the population) and mostly male. Affirmative action for autists is hence unlikely to ever achieve a scale at which substantial discrimination can be expected to affect other groups. Women, OTOH, make up ~50% of the population, so affirmative action is going to have substatial side-effects by sheer scale as we are indeed observing in practice.
Also, having the man earn more is a substantial predictor of relationship quality, hence affirmative action for males has positive expected utility in this regard and negative EU for females.
Lastly, it is not clear that automation has positive utility at all because it leads to massive power concentration, so it's not clear that the brain power of women that goes unexploited is a detriment to the common good. (Also women with a career do not seem particularily happy.)
How does the effectiveness of tracking down individual cases in this way compare to e.g. improving the eoconomic incentives overall? Commercial child abuse is mostly a result of deprived economic circumstances, in which people see more benefit in selling their children rather than giving them the best future possible, if I'm not mistaken.
I don't intend to spoil the enthusiasm here, but wouldn't supporting welfare hence be a more effective measure than investing in fancy tech? That latter only increases the deterrants which seem hard to increase any further to begin with.
My next car will be "no car at all". Even electric cars have huge externalities that you do not pay for, but your children, namely, the disposal of the batteries, pollution created by the manufacturing, costly extraction of rare earths etc. Instead we should heavily invest in high-speed trains.
That's incredibly fascinating. It seems counter-intuitive that a random placement would be superior to a more regular one. Does this merely optimize for minimal length of the datalines?
