The article argues that America is experiencing cascading systems failures across multiple domains because of a systematic prioritization of diversity over competence in institutional hiring and promotion practices. Though it does so without establishing a clear causal relationship. While presenting temporal correlation, it fails to demonstrate that diversity policies indeed are the primary cause of these failures, rather than numerous other factors like budget constraints, management decisions, or technological changes. Even without bringing diversity into the equation, the Peter principle already well explains why hierarchies tend to converge toward incompetence, and thanks to the Dilbert principle, we know that the most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the management ;-)
