If you are high skill enough to do a PhD in anything meaningful, why enter into an open-ended low-paid work contract with a professor with no definite end-date on when the PhD is granted? An american has even less incentive, as the reward o

There are two key aspects here: the nature of work and a critique of woke narratives, which some argue deny recent developments by framing them as a simple desire for acceptance. Specifically, transgender individuals are seen as being eleva

Are you saying that the ones holding up the ESG cartel that incentivize businesses to do communist climate justice are all morons that just happen to have incredibly competent execution? It’s the UN, EU, BlackRock, vanguard, the state depar

ESG which is used to enforce climate justice is a a cartel environment that creates a total top-down, public-private sector controlled by a Stakeholder Soviet that determines the parameters of doing business. This model was pioneered in Chi

Let’a assume the hypothesis that they believe that to be true. Why would anyone that believe that shut off nuclear plants that emit zero CO2 in Germany and burn wood as well as gas instead?

You are trying to dismiss my claim by making a moral claim about your opponents instead of formulating an argument for why my claim is wrong or an inquiry. To your claim there is no evidence. Here are some videos of top executives saying DE

I understand you are trying to use the woke activist tactic of insinuating that it’s racist to oppose woke communist redistribution and indoctrination schemes. That’s not an argument and not an inquiry. Eg what you could ask is “What makes

Then the right response is, e.g. “Do you have any evidence that the CHIPS act require DEI?” Yes, see the relevant sections here: https://x.com/bonchieredstate/status/1766467529151557788?s=4... “Do you have any evi

The former Twitter head of trust and safety Elon called pedo in his PhD thesis argued grindr should accommodate underage queer youth on their platform. Arguably, that’s creepy. Also, he did not act upon child porn on Twitter while as the Tw

How do you think about DEI and affirmative action systematically discriminating against poor people from poor families with unfavored identities? The problem is that although there is for instance merit to helping the poor, that is in direc

Absolutely. Marxism is an odd cult that slipped past a lot of protections that should have applied to it. Persons from any faith that worships the state becoming a manifestation of its perfect idol and does the work (praxis) to make it so,

It's the ESG framework that force companies to adopt DIE, kill it and you kill DIE. The marxists are using the large pension funds they manage (blackrock, vanguard, state and federal pension funds etc) to force companies to either seek

Good points. Also, constitutional constraints apply to public schools and universities so they are not supposed to push a state religion such as marxist theology. It is also illegal to fire someone or discriminate against them for not adopt

I think I am a bit confused then. We were discussing meritocracy. Are you claiming affirmative action or DEI has no effect on meritocracy? Or that meritocracy in your opinion shouldn't be a consideration? > That would make for a bet

by asabjorn 4y ago
DIE is also implemented all over the government, and public schools and universities also apply it. Are you saying you are concerned about this affecting meritocracy, but not in private schools and companies? Your definition of meritocracy

Marxism actually is a theology and by proxy wokeness as well, so it is not surprising you get religious zealots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqj-MKG9SnU&t=1s

Do you think this remains true with DIE and affirmative action being implemented in all major employers, universities and institutions? It is not fashionable to point to the unmeritocratic treatment of Asians and white males, so I guess I

You’ve already lived through artificial gas shortages since February 2021 after fracking and gas pipelines were shut down, so that’s demonstrably incorrect. Less easy to spot you’ve seen policy of not building new refineries and oil fields.
