This was great!
The moral of the story is "Don't judge a book by its cover".
I grew up watching her on MusiquePlus in Montreal. Had no idea she was a Miss Universe contestant. Sharp girl, 100% bilingual, many Quebecers speak both languages very well, but you can’t even tell which she prefers. That’s rare
Loved her talk on intelligence and beauty
Very good talk. I like her reasoning. Thank you.
As human beings ARE a TOTALLY simple amalgam of unconscious biases. Some of them are acted out and perceived in some way, and that creates our identity, part us, part what other people seem to see in us that we receive in biased messages from their reactions.
@bluesteel6138
What's your problem? You are even more unconscious than most humans ... work on that.
@bluesteel6138
As soon as you can apologize for saying what I said is nonsense when apparently you do not know what I was saying AND you can phrase that question in some understandable way, I'd give a try to explain my thought processes to you. But your apology had better be good and believable because I am sick to death of people who are themselves fools and assholes replying to me call me names.
Thank you for this, Juliette. Quite helpful as we attempt to change this world.
So the fact that she literally said she has no answers for you and hid that she was miss Canada purely cause she was ashamed of the fact that it disproves every thing she's about doesn't bother you
This was excellent! Very refreshing! Insightful!
Awesome vision...
Loved it.
I think that she is a beautiful women and she was a model and it is easy to see her as being judgmental or privileged. I think however she does have depth and makes some good points. When someone is truly smart you start to care less about who they are and more about what they say.
I know Juliette and she is the real deal, not a model, very much a media entrepreneur!
sounds like you have some insecurity issues. I hope since then you have done some deep reflection and stop judging a book by it's cover.
The fact that you called her beautiful ahead of anything else is ironic. Eye-roll.
Our unconscious bias is we think we're special.
Basically, don't judge people by their appearance. Well, that's revolutionary.
Hear Hear, She has come from modest backgrounds and has made herself through beliefs and work.
She is the real deal!
You'd think, but people still do it. These talks are needed.
Jubilee Negative, Ghostrider. These conversations are necessary because her talk is incomplete and incorrect in some regards.
Now, when she begins with this “collective bias,” is where she really goes off the rails.
Does anyone know what dress she is wearing? I neeeeeeeeeeed it!!!
She is gorgeous
She was Miss Canada. And a VJ on MuchMusic and I think she may be a genius.
Omg.
Evolutionary stable strategies of ideologies, philosophies and values humanism must be reiterated into the individual and collective consciousness. In the sacred, technological and profane, in order to endure both the lightness and gravity of our present natural state of being.
what utter nonsense your subconscious mind can deliver us, good day
misuse of the word unconscious, the unconscious does not have biases, that's why it is the unconscious
Unvoluntary bias?
that doesnt make sense
Subconscious bias.
Unconscious is what you are when you are asleep.
Subconscious is below your conscious. The things you do repeatedly gets relegated to subconscious execution. This frees your conscious awareness to process more things.
The unconscious is bias, it associates or equates one thing to another whether or not they have anything to do with each other or not. If it was conscious we could bring our intellect to bear on it and say ... no, that is a fake rubber snake and not a snake, or I feel like I don't like that person because they look exactly like someone who tried to rob me a year ago
And in my town you can't drive naked.
So now the question - what is the relevance of being in some sort of minority when advising companies about where to invest and what to research?
Oh right - it is irrelevant. What should count are your merits. if you have to even so much as mention your gender, race, religion, or other labels - than you already failed - as a candidate and as a human.

A company won't hire an under qualified employee.
Opportunity is the driving factor behind the relevance of being a "minority".
dee yannie Soooo - your sex, gender, race etc still are irrelevant.
ABaumstumpf
They're irrelevant in terms of getting the job done, of course.
But being interviewed, applying to, and even being aware of occupational positions in some fields is notoriously difficult for many professional POC.
You don't send recruiters to job fairs to find some underqualified minorities to make them feel better, you do it because odds are they don't have the same networking opportunities many of their white colleagues were afforded. It's about opportunity, not pity.
So the guy in the cab was right...
Not entirely. She is also many other smart things apart from what she could make use of her looks
Unconscious bias? So this woman wants me to go ghost hunting? How about some statistics and facts?
She is referring to a lifetime of observation.
Unconscious bias does not exist you’re chasing a ghost of a ghost
It absolutely exists.
The shocking tenor notably film because uganda impressively whine forenenst a hissing design. adamant, handsome story
I think her story about the cab driver was made up to conveniently segway into her presentation.
nope she is real
Wow so the very first thing she does is tell a very clearly made up story.. of coarse I could be wrong I mean clearly the cab driver could have very easily mistaken her for a possible basketball player.. O and if it is true why tell us about it it's not even that bad of a story
