                • The Corn Pop story actually has some kernels of truth.

                          Corn Pop, kernels. I see what you did there.

                              • A great article on the issue labeled "The Competence Crisis"

                                Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis (palladiummag.com)

                                Its a great article that does a pretty decent job of describing how truly complex our world is, and how that complexity demands competence of maybe even excellence at so many levels. This is vastly underappreciated by most people, and you could see that with Covid-19 as politicians around the world shut down entire economies without a second's thought as to what the implications would be.

                                Anyhow, as diversity hiring and promotion increases and the average IQ and education level of the country decreases, get ready for everything in life to be a little bit shittier. Bridges will collapse more often. Airplane will crash more often. Medical errors will be more common. Manufactured goods will have more defects. Competently delivered services will get more expensive and wait times will be longer. You get the picture.

                                In some cases, it will be a lot shittier, if you are on the operating table and a diversity hire is the guy cutting you open (the AMA now openly advocates for this). Or if you are on an airplane and you have a diversity hire flying it.

                                This is why the culture war is the only thing that matters right now. The economy exists to serve the population, not the other way around -- it's not inconsequential, but it is also not an all-defining metric for quality of life, which is going to be much worse in the US in 25 years. And it's not as if the people pushing DEI initiatives are good for the economy.

                                Our culture has cancer and that cancer has metastasized into almost every institution in America. Every day that goes by, it's getting more difficult to envision a political solution for it.
