      Abilene's paradox is the reason why 70% of the world is vaccinated against covid. If someone told me ten years ago that 70% of people would take a jab against a disease with 0.01% mortality, which would not protect them of getting the disease and they will guilt trip those, who reject the jab, despite claiming the jab would prevent them getting the disease, I would think this person is insane.

      That greeting may be a little too on the nose this time. I'd take a second to read through your comment section on this clip, to see just how vitriolic the audience is that you are fostering with a clickbaity title like this.
      "Harvard... is unabashedly American" says your guest of the school once called the "Kremlin on the Charles" in the McCarthy era. Was it headed downhill then too? Are the presidents of Penn and MIT equally incompetent and deluded? Or could it be that spaces that dedicate themselves to free thinking, debate and learning end up with conclusions slightly ahead of the zeitgeist? What a great question to examine through a historical lens? What does this look like in the US (with it's relatively mainstream conservatism) vs other western nations and liberal democracies? This could have been a relevant discussion amidst a bunch of noise if there was better pushback and an examination of broader perspectives on the issue.

      DEI was originally DESIGNED for financial sectors, Not academia. Larry Fink and Blackrock created DEI to be able to pick winners and losers. The power to include IS no different than the power to Exclude. They are the same thing. The etymology is from Latin “Claudere” - to shut in / out. Fink’s and Blackrock’s power emanates from the power to include / exclude. The claudere - to shut in / out.

      If you are employed because you meet the required skill set for the job then no matter what ethnicity you are its the right decision. However if you got the job solely based on your ethnicity, and not on your skill set , then its wrong.
      It sends the wrong message to everyone . It disadvantages those who have worked hard to acquire skills, it disadvantages the actual company because they have
      employed under-skilled people who lack the ability to perform to an acceptable standard and it disadvantages the person who got the job because now they're told no need to work hard, your ethnicity is all you need to get a job.
      A company with diversity is a good thing, it shouldn't even be questioned! However, if the diversity is purely for the 'sake of diversity then it's wrong and n one benefits...not the company, not the person who got the job and not the person who didn't get the job, its a lose, lose, lose scenario .

Kinda like Walmart selling plastic sacks or paper straws wrapped in plastic to get a better E score. Airlines only hiring minority pilots who, when grouped together, only make up approx 15% of all US licensed pilots. The point here is that subjected companies will comply insincerely.

      With all due respect, as a man who was raised Catholic myself I would suggest moving away from the Catholic Church due to it's unbiblical doctrines and traditions of men that Scripture speaks against. But any Christian organization that starts implementing Marxist garbage such as DEI is one I would suggest distancing yourself from, Catholic or not. DEI is not Christian, it's the Devil in disguise (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).
      That being said, I'd like to recommend to you a few channels on here I think are much better aligned with our God and his word: Shepherd's Chapel, Pastor Ben Heath, JustThoughtsstudies, and Smyrna Christian Church Kokomo. God bless. ✝️

    The entire concept has gotten completely out of control. Here in Canada, companies are forced to hire "minorities" and women for jobs that they're not qualified for. I have been excluded from jobs because I am not Chinese, because I do not speak Mandarin, and I've been passed over promotions so that someone with half my qualifications and a different skin color can check the diversity box in the company. Like I said most of these people are not qualified for the job. If they were qualified I wouldn't have a problem with it. I worked one job where there was a minority woman who was my direct supervisor, and she had no idea how to do her job. She got all the men and her Department to do different parts of her job. She dressed way too sexy and the guys just drooled over her. It was sad. What did she do all day you might ask? She faked the metrics and the kpis for the warehouse we worked in. She kept trying different ways of goofing around with the numbers to try and make us number one and we were... That is until I reported her, the affair she was having with our manager, the complete lack of training that she gave us, and the horrible job that she was doing that cost of the company millions of dollars a year. She was fired two weeks later! 😁

Unfortunately, however, there's very little justice in how the government is managed, which has led such contributions to be squandered by the crooks who took them. So, where does that leave us?

    What a hot topic. risky. You are sure edgy out here. Your views are almost biblical and should be bowed down to. Wow what a blessing it is to find this channel, my life will never be the same. So much genius going on here I do not know how this man is not the president of some major corporation or industry because he certainly has some views that are unmatched by great minds of the past and future. One would have to travel far to get this kind of genuine news that changes lives and is needed in our wounded society. He will one day be known for his mouth words and the brilliance that comes forth when he opens his throat and lets the knowledge out for the rest of us to absorb. We are truly blessed. By the way, what is a Harvard?
