Obviously. Babies gestate for 1 to two years in a full-grown female and are born as adults.

Russian doesn’t have definite/indefinite articles?

Honestly, talk to a health professional if you can. That doesn’t sound normal.

Have you tried a pregnancy test?

USAians do have trouble with the English language.

We need meta-data’ed memes so that somebody can shove an AI into our face and translate discussions into a meme-compilation.

I have. They don’t believe the science. “Cats only kill weak and sick animals”. I’ve given up on it. Can’t convince a mind that’s made up. But the cadavers are annoying the whole household, so I was hoping for some possible solution that didn’t involve getting the friend all wound up.

Make the house unsafe for cats. Got it.

My friend insists on letting it out because animals aren’t supposed to be kept in captivity. And it’s not easy to play with cats if you’re gone 10 hours a day

In my experience, technical people with those skills quickly rise past their non-technical peers.

They aren’t held back by the org that limits technical salaries and request that they take on leadership responsibilities?

What does this mean?

1. Social pressure - There’s a need to be “seen”. Being a technical expert on ground doesn’t make you " seen".

Ah yes, exposure 🤔 So maybe by making technical experts seen, it would normalise increasing their salary.

2. Money - The higher you go, the more money you make.

I’m questioning why this is the case ;)

Leadership is undoubtedly important and good leadership even more so, but why do you bring singularity (“one person can only do so much work”)? Experts work in teams too. Is there some kind of connotation with expertise that leads you (or people) to believe that is something which cannot be brought into a team?

A good leader can enable a team of people to work together achieving more than the sum of their individual contributions.

That is true, but isn’t the ability of the team members important too? For example, if you have a team of juniors, you can get to a goal, however the question is in what state. And if the leader is just a leader but doesn’t have understanding of the sector, why should their leadership be valued more than that of the team members who do?

As for force multipliers, experts can be force multipliers too. An expert that helps out and resolves (or even prevents) tricky situations for fellow team members (or the entire team) can improve team cohesion and productivity. Experts also often have an educative role in the team to spread knowledge and understanding. That seems to be valued less, and I don’t understand why.

Also traditional companies don’t typically have knowledge based employees. There’s a limit to what high expertise can bring. This is what has led to management as the promotion track.

That is true, but you can become an expert in multiple things. For example you become an expert brick layer and then you become an expert plumber, and so on. Or in a knowledge based company, you become an expert payroll accountant, then an expert tax accountant, then an expert revenue accountant, etc.

Management is also a skill. And it’s arguable a more useful skill since it’s more transferable than a narrow focus. At very high levels you have a lot of responsibility figuring out where your company is headed.

So people value knowing where to go more than being able to get there? Is this the gist of it? If so, why? I don’t understand why one is more important than the other. You can have the best plan on the planet, but if you don’t have the people to get you there quickly, safely, and in top shape, that plan is just that, a plan.

Maybe we’re misunderstanding each other. I’m not talking about technical people going up the ladder. I’m asking why going up the ladder is valued more than becoming or being an expert on the ground.

That entire premise falls apart when you let a person with a different skin color enter the room of children that have never seen that skin color before. There are even videos of it where children scream in horror.

And humans didn’t just evolve from one central location. They evolved in parallel on an entire continent. They then also mixed with different subspecies.

Sure, give it a try

If racism weren’t by nature, then it would only happen in some societies or groups, but it happens in all of them.

Empathy doesn’t preclude evil.
