Why do all large corporations not only hire women employees? They would only have to pay women 70 percent of a mans salary for doing the same job. Cutting costs by a third would be a big deal for any company I would assume.

Weren't most of the cases women were payed less due to less job experience, men being at the job longer or just in a higher position?

Unless of course the entire universe is just a simulation. In that case I highly doubt anyone would know unless the creators wanted them to.

The brain has a bunch of folds to have larger surface area and stuff, and that makes us smarter (very watered down, but yeah). What exactly does this contribute to in our intelligence? If we had twice as much surface space, for example, would we gain new functions or just become more efficient in our current functions? If the latter is the case, then how would we go about gaining telepathy and telekinesis through evolution?

Lower animals have smoother brains, apparently for evolutionary reasons. Cognitive brain activity takes place in cells in thin surface layers of the cerebral cortex, and skull size did not increase as fast as brain complexity did as the species evolved. Convoluted human brains pack a larger surface area into a small container.

Human intelligence appears to be related to the branching of brain cells and the formation of complex links between them, not the shape of the platform where the links take place.

As humans evolved as a species, our brains grew larger to accommodate all of the higher functions that set us apart from other animals. But in order to keep the brain compact enough to fit into a skull that would actually be in proportion with the rest of our body size, the brain folded in on itself as it grew. If we unfolded all of those ridges and crevices, the brain would be the size of a pillowcase

Telepathy or telekinesis go against the laws of physics so no improvement of our brain would allow for it.

What if the point of the simulation is to find out of we can realize it's just a simulation?
