I know I'm not actually engaging with the substance of this post (because it isn't worth it, sorry – not one of his good ones) but it's interesting to note that people are suddenly posting all sorts of spicy things. Feels like people are doing victory laps about "death of DEI". And the thing is... the things they're posting are really boring. Like pg's "origin of Woke" that even HN dragged. I get people's point that the past 10 years have stifled interesting discussion. Well, let's see it then. Show me the interesting discussion. This is not it.

It's a two years old post, referencing an (admittedly silly) legal case that's two years older again. I don't know why it's even made the front page, whole thing feels strawmannish. But yeah, congratulations to the anti-DEI mob, you can now make comedies again where the punchline is "a man is wearing a dress" or "look at his funny foreign accent". Whoop-de-doo, that shit was getting plain tired years before it ever got cancelled.

> people are suddenly posting all sorts of spicy things I don't think this is particularly spicy. What posts are you thinking of? pg has criticized woke for at least a decade so that's not a new thing either.
