acidpandaon Ask HN: Slow thinkers, how do you compensate for your lack of quick-wittedness?

There's advantages to slow thinking. Great for strategy and problem solving because you'll have the patience for it, but lacking in the improvisation dept.

Then again all you can do is practice.

I actually have lol - I need to watch The Creator tho, I'll get around to it this weekend. Distributed by 20th Century Fox, now owned by Disney.

Not saying I'm a fan of the way in which they acquire up a lot of things but they do have good programming.

acidpandaon Ask HN: What is something that needs to be done if you were of my age(22)?

lol I'm not at the point you're talking about, but just work on something you like. If I could tell my 22-year-old self some unsolicited advice, it would be to not focus on "making it" but instead make things you want to see in the world.

I was doing that anyways but it would've been nice to hear.

I do believe that the advertising-funded models definitely are not to be depended on, and social media has suffered a lot because of that. I also think that the enforcement of that responsibility does fall in HR, but maybe DEI is also needed for that. Some of the time you're dealing with civil rights cases and other times you're seeking out diverse, non-traditional candidates to add to your company's perspective. It doesn't even have to be race-specific it could also be class-specific.

I don't think it's about a Darwinism philosophy. I do think there are some players stereotyped out of the NBA or NCAA, based on a recruiter's perception of what said player can do and the opportunities given to said player. It's pretty undeniable what a player with great skill and commitment can do with a good team. So maybe the focus should be on giving better chances.
