Sorry, that's a strawman, but thanks for playing.

We still don't know if humans are deterministic, and it's likely they're not.
Either way they're EFFECTIVELY non-deterministic, so you're better off assuming they have free will than not.

They correlate well to academic success, especially in STEM, and they readily answer OP's question.

Do you even graph?

Wow, pure strawman. What's next, ad-hominem?

If you had an actual leg to stand on, you wouldn't resort to such nonsense.

>we design and build these things and know how they work,
The whole point of an AI is that it will do things the original designers didn't explicitly program it to do.
Never mind AI, just look at modern operating systems.
We've already reached the point of complexity where no one human can know every line of code, and even if they could, even teams of people can't completely predict every result of the code they've created.
That's why we get a fresh set of patches for Windows every month.

>You're saying men are disadvantaged because women have the option of finding a rich husband. That's completely ridiculous and not even remotely related to the issue of maternity leave and pay-gaps.

Actually MOST women rely on average men for a big chunk of their financial well-being.
Forget "rich husbands", as a woman my daughter has the option of either pursing her doctorate and becoming a Veterinarian OR (in her own words) "I can count on Nick (her boyfriend/fiancee) to make the money".
This is certainly affecting her education and career choices.
As a woman she has more leeway in deciding to pursue her passion and/or doing what's easier vs working harder for a better degree/career.
This has EVERYTHING to do with the pay gap.

>he doesn't have to worry about missing out on a big job thing because of pregnancy.
Women have far more control of their reproductive rights then men, and while a woman might have to choose between family and career, it's her choice to make.

>Personal and professional life should be separate not not interfere. You shouldn't have to wait to have children because you're worrying about your job.
But you surely can't expect employers to pay a woman while she's not a work because of maternity.
It CAN lead to a woman being forced to make a choice, but again, it's entirely HER decision, and thus a freedom no man will ever experience.
