I normally listen at 1.25x. Occasionally I'll tune in live if I want to comment, but usually I don't because he encourages Shi7posting by reading all the dumb stuff and reacting. Maybe if he'd leave it alone, we wouldn't be subjected to a constant stream of garbage chatter.

The topic that most intrigued me was how fairness is an illusion, and we arbitrarily define categories in which we say there is fair competition. We would say it is fair if Mike Tyson and I are in a boxing competition because he is an adult male, and I am an adult male. There's nothing "fair" about the advantages Mike has in a ring compared to me.

While Scott is successful in dismantling the illusion of fairness, I don't think that's reason to abandon the categories of competition we have created, like actual women competing against actual other women.

Here's my favorite talk so far at about the 16min mark.
