I'd like to know that this is your original work versus a summary of some of the points in a great book.
There is no such thing as original work.
Ideas always travel through multiple people.
Ideas are out there.

A writer catches those ideas and bring them to paper and gives them his own perspective.
I don't know whether Steve has read Deida but the ideas in that post are certainly out there at the moment.

Whether it is Daida's book "Men come from Mars, Woman form Venus" or a pickup book like The Game (and a lot of those pickup people are into personal development), it's in the zeitgeist to look again at manlines after a time where every one who talked about differences between the sexes was labeled as sexist.
David Daida writes from a more spiritual perspective.
Since Steve also writes from a spiritual perspective it is natural that the content matches in great parts.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
