Play this song to your kids if you want them to grow up to be successful:

Could someone summarize this article? I am too lazy to read it. And I think comments here are just reacting to the title of this post.

Interesting.

I was one of these defiant children (diagnosed with Oppositional Defiance Disorder even), and it is true that I have a relatively good paying job. However, among my peers, there are many people who advance further than me and are paid more because they are better at brown nosing, something defiant people are not particularly inclined to do.

The difference comes from them starting their own businesses, not working for others.

That actually makes a lot of sense in explaining the data

Kind of surprising this is still the case given that compliant girls tend to be looked after as some form of corporate whore whereas thinking men tend to get the shaft no matter what they do.

I've known a few women at the top of the corporate world. I can think of a few words to describe them and "compliant" wouldn't be one of them.

In what ways were they non-compliant with the system?

People with anti-social traits are the ones who are going to tactically go along with all the woke stuff etc, whilst being ruthless in business dealings.

Higher iq men who have some sense of morality will be filtered out, as intended. These people need to have as little resources and access to positions of influence as possible for the system to protect itself. If a bunch of competent white dudes with a sense of righteousness have enough resources and influence to create a mass movement that isn't reliant on the system for its survival what happens? Jews and capitalists get kicked out of power, a la Germany 1933.
