Because that’s the political trend in the Western world: if the reality does not fit ideology, then try hard to bend it by being vocal and bulling people that don’t agree, and get power in institutions to push them to the mass. Basically the same reasoning USSR used: if communism is failing that’s because we need more communism. The good point is reality always comme back. It takes decades for the USSR to crumble, but it finally collapsed. In the same way, organization that twisted reality will pay it back one day, for example banks that grant more loans to people that statistically default more will lose more money, thus creating opportunities for companies that has a reality-based strategy to outcompete them. Another example: let’s imagine a TLA is building a system to mine potential mass shooters. The AI output is 99% male, so the ethics comity step in and imposes 50% of women profiles in output. The next shooting happens. It would have been predicted by the initial system, yet the modified one didn’t because the agency was too busy investing really low probability cases. The problem seems obvious in this case, but when a few selected group keywords are thrown in most people will put aside any logic and approve anything (either by conviction or for virtue signaling).
