*skillful multitasking

I'll look into it as soon as I have time.

I just barely had any time lately even just to inhale and exhale. Fortunately my lungs can multitask otherwise I'd be in deep doodoo.

I always think those drivers must be master multitaskers to be able to listen, translate, anticipate, and drive balls out all at once. They're rivaled only by jet sprint boat racers, who take all the directional information, speed it up by 3, and make it 100% hand signals....all on water at fighter plane g forces.

I do better driving blind over listening to fast pace notes....I just can't do both at once very well.

Get off the phone dummy, and pay attention to what you're doing. Multitasking is definitely not one of her strong suits.

Yeah I think his interpretation was a bit off, the study didn't test multitasking ability. Here it is :

http://www.pnas.org/content/106/37/15583.full

The first test measured the ability to filter out irreverent distractions. The second was task-switching. Chronic multitaskers did much worse at both.

My interpretation after reading it is that there's a finite amount of working memory in your brain. Heavy multitaskers tend to keep recent tasks in working memory, because they assume they might need to go back to the task in a moment or two. Where as normal people are better able to flush out the previous task from memory, preventing the risk of confusing the current task with a previous one.

Wait, are they talking about multi-tasking (which nobody is good at) or task-switching (which is what most people do instead of multitasking, but call it multi-tasking).

Oppsie! Brain flatulence? Senior moment? Multitasking fail? ... Fixed

Multitasking at it's most magnificent *quality *skillful *live music Simply Stupendous I tell ya

I don't think you can look at it as either-or. I'm not sure you can even simplify down to single issues like "wages" because there will be outliers on either side.

I think on average (if I can use such a term) we still have a male supremacy in many if not most areas.

I think gender is important and our physical bodies dictate many of our abilities or potential abilities; I don't think it's possible to be entirely gender neutral on most issues. Women should have less winnings in Tennis, because they play less and they play less well. Hell, they could just abolish women's and men's tennis and only have a joint competition - then it certainly would favor it fairly. It would however mean that the female to male ratio would be 1:20 all of a sudden, since the male body is built stronger in general.

How it should be approached I don't really know. It won't be easy to change the people's minds in a positive way. Too many feminist proponents think they're Rosa Parks and feel completely justified in debasing and downright embarrassing behavior like the girl at the end of the video, the PyCon incident, "Elevatorgate" etc. I don't have a problem with them standing up for themselves at all - everyone should be free to protect their space, but they should also respect others' space (now I'm talking PyCon particularly).

Right now the male/female discussion has very little scientific base (at least as far as I know), we only have anecdotal stuff. It would be interesting to have studies going in neutrally and examining the basic differences in women, so we have some basis to argue from.

Some things are relatively simple - women can have babies, men can't - this means time off from work, etc etc. Right now employers consider this when hiring and shouldn't they?

Other things are grabbed out of thin air like: men focus on single things better, while women multitask better. I'd like to see some data for that and for other differences between the sexes.

Gorillaman seems to want to gender/sex out of the discussion entirely; I'm not sure that's really fair or helpful since we are different.

I suppose I would like people to not be thought of as a mass of blue and red, but rather as individuals and judged on the individual skills. Like say, compare ME and Serena Williams - there's no possible argument that I would beat her in tennis (or most any physical activity) ever. She should clearly be valued higher than me in those areas.

Sports solve the issue by going around it - making guy sports and girl sports. That's one solution, but segregating society is not cool. Imagine making guy workplaces and girl workplaces. Not really cool, is it? So, how do we find jobs, places in society that appeals to the individual? I would imagine we figure out the requirements of job and judge applicants on their merits - some women would beat all men in some jobs, and vice versa.

I don't think society is trying to keep women down, at least not consciously. Consider if the present position is caused natural evolution of society or if its patriarchal rule enforcing it? If you look at the hyper-muslim countries, I'd say it was the patriarchal rule, but over here? I'm not sure.

Ramble ramble.

I'm reminded of how badly I perform multitasking whenever I play Starcraft II.
