What kind of discrimination (if any) do you believe can be common without triggering the negative consequences you describe?
I ask because you seem to be describing a world in which discrimination basically can't exist due to market self-regulation - i.e., all our industries problems are basically solved, which seems to differ from your usual position.
- tptacek 12y agoWith apologies, I do not believe you are discussing this in good faith, and I think the distinction I am drawing is clear enough.

- hueving 12y agoJust respond with a clear answer if there is a distinction. Don't resort to ad homs.
- chetanahuja 12y agoFwiw I think the parent of your comment asked a very reasonable question and it's not really clear what distinction you are drawing from your GP comment.
- pen2l 12y agoThat was a beautiful deflection. Your career is in politics tptacek.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoYour second sentence is more hostile than needed. One of the reasons I ask Tom these questions that he is one of the more rational folks on HN, particularly on other issues. It's pretty clear that he realizes he made a mistake, hence the deflection. Making a mostly rational person feel attacked is only likely inhibit their logical mind.

- SamReidHughes 12y agoThe parent seemed to be describing a world in which that specific and blatant form of discrimination can't exist, not all forms of discrimination.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoHence my question - what kind of discrimination can exist in such a world?
- SamReidHughes 12y agoNot the kind where a board of wangbangers sit in their castle surrounded by scantily-clad ice sculptures and give toasts "to female misery," believe it or not.
