I”m afraid to click. But, based on the comments here, Rome in the mid 400s would have looked like this. If they’d had the Internet.
We can only loose as a group, society, country and species is if we are forced by some decree make some of these “identity” people leaders or even participants in any effort for any reason other than their proven qualifications. This philosophy will be the end of significant progress.
All I can say is that, quite suddenly, it felt to me as though this ludicrous social idiocy that has emerged it actually threatening the viability of humanity itself. If this “modern” “western” philosophy gains a foothold over the rest of the planet, we are done as a serious species.
I think this is part of why Musk wants to get to Mars and start another branch. Though he strongly supports a lot of putatively-leftwing notions, such as “clean energy” and efficient mass transport, the way he runs his companies and his ideas about colonization throughout the solar system are very frontier American in style. And he clearly values the work ethic, and has contempt for those who don’t.
There’s only one positive thing I get from this. We’re such a an exceptionally wealthy country that we can afford to pay salaries to such silly people and other people are so wealthy that they have time to go to a conference and listen to them as if they had something worthwhile to say.
