@AI_EmeraldApple Is there any reason for a company to even have an HR department in 2026?

My most unhinged run-in with HR was while working at a biotech company as a senior scientist, a long time ago. They were doing racism audits, and me being an Asian, they targeted me in an inquisition-style interrogation. In essence, it was about 30 minutes of them... Gen Z women with a chip on their shoulders, trying to make me say that I experienced racism at the company. It was them framing every little comment, quip, joke, and conversation that my 'white' coworkers had with me into some sort of racist dog whistle. They wanted me to "out" my work friends as "racists" so that HR could crucify them. I knew they were recording the whole time, so I had to be very careful with my words. I kept my answers brutally short, usually with a single-word answer of "no", or that lacks context, or that's a misframing. They were literally trying to manufacture problems to go after people to justify their existence. They were trying to goad me, to extract the "right" answers from me that I refused to play their stupid game. After the interview was over, and after their little racism witch hunt didn't work, they moved on to other targets, other minorities, other stupid problems no one cared about.

@thinkingwest @thinkingwest what do you recommend

Nothing will shape your worldview as much as simply reading how humans from the past thought. You realize very quickly that our time is a radical anomaly in human history.

@Kekius_Sage Why wouldn’t 100% of people pick the red? Everyone survives and you take no personal risk

this is what it really is red: you don’t trust people, so you guarantee a worse world blue: you trust people, with zero control if they betray you if blue wins, you survived a gamble if red wins, you proved why trust never stood a chance either way: the outcome says more about us than the game itself
