Because diversity is productive. If your constituents are similar with similar backgrounds, upbringing, sex etc, they will tend to have similar ideas, biases etc and that will lead to groupthink. In other words, they will be more likely to get stuck in a local minimum.
Diversity in general is good because you'll get different ideas into the mix and will be more likely to be able to envision and explore different possibilities.
Make sense?
- ryanmarsh 5y agoHas this been proven? If so based upon what specific factors? "Background" and "upbringing" encompass a multitude of meanings. I also have not personally ever seen a job ad for "Data Scientist with rural WV / trailer park upbringing" yet that cohort is likely to have a near zero representation. I have seen things offered by "race" and sex. Race seems to be determined by melanin level and self identification, not DNA sequencing.
