I can only hope this is true! DEI has been an increasing cause of active discrimination against majority-population groups, and gives powerful roles to the most jealous, historically uneducated, politics playing people in each company. It has made working on tech almost unbearable for many years. The sooner it’s over the better, and I hope we never go back to it.
Not to mention that the longer DEI lasts, it will discredit any future attempts to address any actual issues with the distribution of opportunity in our society.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoWhat should future attempts look like?
- version_five 4y agoIgnoring irrelevant personal characteristics
- paulryanrogers 4y agoSo don't even try to address systemic discrimination? Future attempts should look like giving up?

- animitronix 4y agoThere would be no systemic racism if everyone ignored irrelevant personal differences, that's the point.
- _-david-_ 4y agoWhy just stop being racist when you can enforce racism as a means to not have racism?
- paulryanrogers 4y agoTribalism seems to be a part of human nature. One that requires active effort to counteract. BIPOC are also born into more difficult circumstances, through no fault of their own. Rich societies can and should lend a hand. Not close their eyes and pretend systemic problems will work themselves out.
- epicureanideal 4y agoWe should attempt to build a society with sufficient mobility and opportunity that regardless of any unfairness in starting conditions a relatively fair outcome would occur over time.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoThat much we can agree on. Answers to where we are now and how we get there vary
- epicureanideal 4y agoI recommend starting by reducing all the problems mentioned in the book "The Captured Economy", in particular residential zoning restrictions, occupational licensing (for all but the most safety relevant professions), and patent reform. To that I would add, significantly simplify all laws, processes, and forms so that the average person (or preferably even a person 1 standard deviation below average) can start a business without consulting a lawyer.
