I believe it was a NYC police commissioner back in the 80s that found something interesting. You can do away with race, age and income level (to a point). But basically he found out (it was replicated across many cities, not just NYC), that more than 90% of crimes happened in 5% of neighborhoods. Within those neighborhoods, most all crimes happen within a couple of blocks of that neighborhood.
And it didn't matter the crime, it could be violent, property, theft, prostitution, drug trafficking and etc. Most all could be attributed to a few blocks in any given city.

He's talking rubbish.
Even if technology advances to that point, men and women can't live without each other
In the future, can men and women reproduce without each other?
What Andrew Wilson is stating is purely theoretical and not possible today.
However… what he doesn’t realize is that, theoretically, it is significantly more possible for women to reproduce without men than vice versa. Even if men used artificial wombs.
What Andrew Wilson is referring to is an artificial womb, which would only replace the uterus, you would still need a biological female egg.
I can post a few sources in the comments.
Therefore BOTH men and women could potentially and theoretically make each other OBSOLETE.
Respectfully, Andrew Wilson didn’t fully do his research and only presented one side of this.
Right now, we still need the traditional biological building blocks.
We need one egg from a woman, one sperm from a man, and a human womb to carry the pregnancy.
Today, we do not have artificial wombs that can grow a human baby from scratch.
The next stage of developing a successful artificial womb would still require a female egg and male sperm.
Scientists have created what are called bio bags, that can keep prematurely born lambs alive, and they can grow human embryos in containers for a few days in a lab, but a full nine month artificial pregnancy does not yet exist.
I can post a few sources to back this up, but it comes down to genetics, scientists have already successfully bred healthy mice from two mothers, while doing the same with two fathers failed because male cells require far MORE complex genetic editing to successfully build an embryo.
As per usual, this might backfire on men and women.
It may however potentially be a good thing…
What are your thoughts?

If the goal, even in business is to understand what contributes to certain outcomes such as low or high sales.
Have you considered applying diagnostic methods; such as a Contribution Analysis?
Understanding the “WHY” is how you design solutions.

Many people here on X throw around averages and per capita statistics without understanding that these are descriptive statistics.
Descriptive analytics tells us WHAT happened.
Diagnostic analytics helps us understand WHY it happened.
One common diagnostic technique is contribution analysis, which examines the factors that may be contributing to a particular outcome and it estimates their relative impact.
For example…
Discussions about crime often stop at per capita rates. While per capita statistics can describe differences between groups, they do NOT, by themselves, explain WHY those differences exist.
Contribution analysis can help evaluate the relative impact of variables such as poverty, unemployment, education, age demographics, neighborhood conditions, economic opportunity, etc…
Why label an entire group of people as bad?
It is low effort bias and ignorance...
This diagnostic approach helps us to move the conversation from these simplistic conclusions to a deeper understanding of the drivers BEHIND crime rates and other social outcomes.
Rather than saying, "Blacks commit more crime,"
Ask instead…
What factors contributed to the observed differences, and which factors have the greatest impact?
That's where diagnostic analytics comes in.
What are your thoughts?.

Don't let pressure make you spend what you haven't earned.
Fake lifestyles often create real problems.
Live within your means and sleep peacefully.

Why I continue to speak up:
To break the cycle of abuse
To combat widespread prevalence
To drive policy and Lega action
To connect victims to support services
To challenge harmful norms #justiceforhanifa is justice for everyone: c.org/6SSvLrBJTM

The data story on what would happen if women lost the right to vote is now live!

There’s an island in Socotra Yemen 🇾🇪 that has Dragon’s blood trees with umbrella shaped crowns.
Many of its plant species exist nowhere else on Earth.

Honestly, since I have become a philosophical nihilist after my son did (and died because of this), through analysis, I don't feel like staying here anymore. My memories are awful. I never did have a functional family or life. I lost my children. I don't have anything to look forward to. My body is an absolute mess. I think the planet is in dire straits and getting worse every damned day, and I don't see any adults in the room. I stay out of some loyalty, I guess. But that is all. And that is waning. 🍂

African patterns have a way of announcing themselves. You can find them painted on the side of a modern building, printed on a luxury bag, stitched into a contemporary gown, or even written into a logo and you just know. Instantly. This is African. This belongs to Africa.
The geometry, the rhythm, the symbolism… they carry a language that has survived centuries. It’s distinctive. It’s powerful. It’s ours.
What’s sad is how often we still hesitate to fully embrace it, as if our own visual heritage is something to tone down, hide, or “modernize” beyond recognition, while the rest of the world continues to borrow from it.

Stop building Grok Bots from scratch.
Steal these 5 (Work less. Ship more.) ↓
1. Stalk Bot
Signs up for competitors’ newsletters and products using its own research email, then records their onboarding.
Tracks pricing, features and messaging changes so you can see what they’re doing differently.
2. Clip Bot
Give it a podcast, interview or long recording.
It finds moments worth clipping and cuts them into short videos with captions. Each clip includes its original timestamp.
3. Startup QA Bot
Checks your product using a separate test account.
Reports what broke with screenshots and steps to reproduce it. You can enable weekday checks after setup.
4. AI Search Visibility
When someone asks AI about your product category, does your business show up?
Checks accessible AI answers and Google results, identifies who gets recommended, and shows where you’re missing.
5. last30days
Researches what people have been saying about a topic over the past month.
Pulls discussions from sources such as Reddit, X and YouTube into a brief. Useful before choosing your next content angle or investigating a product idea.
These are ready-made configurations to customize.
You’ll still need to connect the relevant tools.

Absolutely. The west is far from being perfect or without it's bad sides but a world where China or islamic state takes over with be Hell. I pray western civilization never falls. I'm a Pro African who believes we will do better learning from the west than fighting them.

It is more so a story that shows what would happen based on predictive analytics. Ofcourse Im against women losing the right to vote.
The video instead provokes thought on what would happen, for others to draw their own conclusions.:) 🌹
