“Since its inception, NATO has essentially opted out of the intelligence business. The command structure is almost totally innocent of any inherent capability for detecting or analyzing what is really going on. An almost pathetic aspect of the situation is the occasional effort by well meaning national officers to find ways to feed the very life blood of a viable defense system (intelligence) into a virtual corpse.”
Very important search. Although we have often stated our view that women are better intelligence (decision-support) managers because they have higher intuition, smaller egos, and are not stunted with respect to the role of feelings and care as relevant factors, we've never really looked this up. Below are a few links, thank you for a great search idea.
It is possible that sexual dimorphism may exist in regard to intellectual abilities in humans.[citation needed] Men may have evolved greater spatial abilities, possibly as a result of certain behaviors, such as navigating during a hunt, that they were more likely to be involved in during humans' evolutionary history.[44] Similarly, women may have evolved to devote more mental resources to gathering food, as well as understanding and tracking relationships and reading others' emotional states in order for them to be able to better understand their social situation.[44]
From conception to death, but particularly before adulthood, females are less vulnerable than males to developmental difficulties and chronic illnesses.[2][3] This could be due to females having two x chromosomes instead of just one,[4] or in the reduced exposure to testosterone.[5]
In the big five personality traits, women score higher in Agreeableness (tendency to be compassionate and cooperative) and Neuroticism (tendency to feel anxiety, anger, and depression).[7]
Demographics of MBTI surveys indicate that 60-75% of women prefer feeling and 55-80% of men prefer thinking.[8][9]
Females score higher on self-report scales of empathy, on samples ranging from school-age children to adults. Empathy scales include measures of perspective taking, orientation towards another person, empathic concern, and personal distress. However, such measures are subjective and empathy may be more related to gender role rather than sex.[10]
Simon Baron-Cohen‘s EQ SQ Theory claims that, in general, men are better at systematizing (the desire to analyze and explore systems and rules) and that women are better at empathizing (the ability to identify with other people’s feelings).
Not nearly complete, but a fine start and the kind of integrated list that will be common in the future, but at the component level with a full life-cycle analysis.
Ocean acidification is an “underwater time-bomb” that threatens fish stocks, marine life and coastal communities around the world, a Natural England report has warned.
Like Dorothy’s dog Toto, the posting of emails and documents on the internet from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit has pulled back the green curtain on the secret world of leading climate scientists, exposing a disturbing pattern of apparent scientific misconduct.
A band of 28 Republican senators is calling on the United Nations to appoint an independent investigator to probe leaked e-mails they claim raise serious questions about the science behind global warming. . . . they want an investigation “that is truly independent of the IPCC and the U.N.” — in the style of the independent investigation led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker in the wake of the Oil for Food scandal.
But don’t count on the so-called “Climategate” to spell the end for CO2 regulation. . . . In fact, outside the more partisan media outlets and blogosphere, the whole Climategate story is fading fast.
Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe tells Newsmax that the climategate scandal is the “clincher” that kills once and for all the cap-and-trade proposal to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Phi Beta Iota: We take this Memorandum Directive from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) at its face value. It seeks to air the principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration in order to form an open government. This is a good initiative that merits the strongest possible support from all possible citizen groups and from individual citizens.
Field To Market is a diverse alliance working to create opportunities across the agricultural supply chain for continuous improvements in productivity, environmental quality, and human well-being. The group provides collaborative leadership that is engaged in industry-wide dialogue, grounded in science, and open to the full range of technology choices.
The Fieldprint Calculator is an educational tool designed to help you assess how some of your operational decisions affect overall sustainability performance. We have identified methodologies for estimating the key performance areas at the national level. The Calculator is an easy way to find out how your current land use, energy use, water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil loss compare with state and national averages.
Phi Beta Iota: Many such tools are being developed around the world. What they lack is a single standard Global Game architecture that makes it possible to cross-polinate all data and all functions.
