Disagree with the whole “shoildnt Socially engineer” - this makes no sense!

We live in highly constructed environment! Socially constructed. Laws, physics design, social structures, etc , etc.

Women are over represented in medicine in some fields in some countries. I guess it's time to start discouraging them and getting them in line with population statistics. Sorry, but you're missing some links in the causal chain. If you study actual history, you'll find that disparities between groups in different fields are the norm. In particular, there is considerable human capital transmitted through culture. (This notion is poisonous, equally to the progressive left and the Alt Right.)

Asians are over-represented at Harvard. I guess it's time to get out the tactics people used to use to exclude jews, blacks, and homosexuals to "engineer" this right.

Social engineering is, in principle, the same sort of thing that resulted in the deaths of 6 million Ukranians by starvation in the 20th century. How about we give people freedom and opportunities, and let them work it out?
