@christopherrufo @mcuban Equality through equity can be achieved if and only if we fix our equity markets, which, by default, favor those who have more.

@mcuban Typically, investors create inequality.

The best way to understand DEI is to separate the marketing pitch—which, I agree, is attractive—from the reality of DEI in practice. Here is how I see it:
1. Diversity: We agree that it is important for people of all backgrounds to be treated fairly. But "diversity" in the political sense means treating individuals as a representation of their group identity, sorting them into a hierarchy based on the "oppressor-oppressed" dynamic, and then discriminating for or against certain groups on that basis. In practice, it means putting identity above merit, rewarding and punishing individuals based on their ancestry and, increasingly, their political ideology. In academia, for example, "diversity statements" are used to measure conformity to left-wing racial theories.
2. Equity: We agree that we should maximize opportunity for all. But "equity" is a political ideology that is distinct from, and contradictory to, "equality." In the highest sense, equality means that the state should treat individuals impartially, as in "equality under law," while recognizing that individuals have different talents, desires, and motivations, which will inevitably lead to inequalities. In a sense, you cannot have equality without inequality—they are two sides of the same coin. "Equity," on the other hand, treats all inequality as illegitimate and attempts to force group equalization, or "equality of outcomes," through redistribution of wealth and property. This is a key tenet of critical race theory.
3. Inclusion: We agree that institutions should have constructive, creative environments. But in practice, "inclusion" is a code word for a distinct, left-wing orthodoxy and is used to suppress disfavored groups and opinions. At many universities, DEI administrators publish speech codes in the name of "inclusion" that restrict the range of discourse and speech on campus. Additionally, the "inclusion" principle is never extended to supposed "oppressor" groups, such as whites, men, and Christians—instead, it becomes a form of exclusion. We can see this in the real world with many institutions implementing "hate," "bias," and "safe space" policies, which, in practice, are used to silence dissent and, especially, conservative speech.
This is not speculation. I have substantiated all of these claims with dozens of investigative reports on DEI bureaucracies in universities, schools, and corporations. It is, in fact, much worse in the particular than in the general dynamics I am describing above.

I can agree that it should be easier to legally fire people in the federal government.
But on the DEI front , isn't it a contradiction to say that the Government Bureaucracy is absolutely awful at everything but implementing DEI and left wing policies ?
FWIW, I'm a believer that at least 30 percent of our government spend is wasted and we need technologically literate politicians who can start to define what government as a service can look like to make it all less expensive and more impactful
Our country is stronger when we raise the standard of living and reduce networth inequality for all citizens
Which leads us back to DEI
Which part of my definition do you disagree with ?

Of course. Running the federal government is much more difficult than running a corporation, most notably, because it has been very difficult to fire bureaucrats, even if you can appoint the cabinet heads. The federal bureaucracy is currently aligned with Biden, but not necessarily accountable to Biden. It will push its ideologies regardless of the president—in fact, it prefers someone like Biden, who, due to age, is not an “energetic executive,” but defers to staff. When Biden is gone, the bureaucracy will remain. My greatest concern is that we are creating a fourth branch of government with enormous power over the American people. DEI, in practice, is a method for the bureaucracy to reshape culture, law, and policy without the consent of the governed. It sounds good in theory—like many ideologies—but is often used to advance much more destructive ideologies, even in corporations. Some of my reporting gives a good summary of the scapegoating, discrimination, and destruction that emanates from DEI bureaucracies: static-cj.manhattan.institute/christopher-ru…. It’s a method for cementing elite power, not advancing the underprivileged.

@mcuban Check out the work Youthful Savings does (youthfulsavings.com).
Kids still need a hybrid approach so AI can't do it all!
English
The opposite. In the past kids had to rely on teachers and analog media to keep up.
Now any kid can use a phone to learn anything. AI can even design courses for you
Remember this:
No one lives in the world they were born into.

@mcuban Hey Mark, wouldn’t this mean life is getting harder and harder for younger people because the rate of change is much faster today than the rate of change in the past?
