For references and clarifications to that which was mentioned in the episode, click through. Instead of a summary, I'm dedicating this space to victims, of any color, in any place.
This episode covers so much valuable information. Before I delve into what that is I want to say the CodingSisters were my first guests (episodes 7 and 8 and “36.5”). However, I was new to podcasting so the quality of those early episodes on my guests' side is not as good as it's been in recent episodes. I reinvited the CodingSisters for episode 32, which is a higher audio quality discussion, albeit of different, somewhat related subjects: optimism, pessimism and rejection. The previous episodes are still worth listening to in my opinion because the information and the sisters are incredible.
Here’s a summary of at least the first of those early episodes. The CodingSisters and I discuss the Atlantic's "The Confidence Gap," which explores the basis for female under-confidence and male confidence/overconfidence from biological and social perspectives, which sex may be more innovative, cognitive dissonance in tech, how exactly sports could prevent women from leaving STEM, Hidden Figures, Selma, why World War II ended when it ended, and more.
