This article covers problems, as do the posts I've seen here so far. We're entrepreneurs and problem-solvers. Anyone got a solution?
The trend in this article -- like the hockey, soccer, and related effects Gladwell, Freakonomics authors, etc covered -- seem to give advantages to people for reasons most of us would consider unfair and counterproductive. Sports and academics want the best competition based on merit, not birth dates. Yet how else can we do things?
Again, can anyone think of solutions to what seem like unfair and counterproductive biases?
I don't think it's "unfair" necessarily, as that, to me, implies conscious choice. Is it "unfair" a person is taller than another person in basketball? Is it "unfair" you can see better than me when we're both competing for publication in Nature?
Finding solutions seems more useful.
