By 15 Comments

Why are 401(k)’s a bad idea? Why don’t rich people use them? And seriously, are they worthy of being called a scam?

There are more than a few reasons that 401(k)s are a bad idea, including that you give up control of your money, have extremely limited investment options, can’t access your funds until you’re 59.5 or older, are not paid income distributions on your investments, and don’t benefit from them during the most expensive period of your life (child-rearing years).

Did I also mention that your 401k account value may plummet—it happened in 2008 and could happen again. [Read more…] about Why 401K’s Are A Bad Idea

Does the Y Chromosome Create a Sex Binary? Science Says No

By Leave a Comment

Key Takeaways:

  • The presence of a Y chromosome does not make someone male, because it is not the Y chromosome but the genes it often (but not always) contains that influence male sexual development.
  • When the genes encoding male sexual development cross-over to an X chromosome, you get XX (“chromosomally female”) individuals who proceed along male developmental pathways.
  • When the genes encoding male sexual development mutate or are deleted, you get XY (“chromosomally male”) individuals who proceeds along female developmental pathways.
  • All of the sex chromosome sets (including XX and XY) can mix-and-match with other sexual characteristics—such as genitals, gonads, and secondary sexual characteristics—to create a mosaic of sexual traits. 
  • The International Olympic Committee (IOC) determined in 1999 that the Y chromosome was “inconclusive” at sex determination.
