ON EQUITY OVER MERRIT
I love this Cat Man. No Idea who he is but he is Brilliant !
This essay on Equity and Inclusion for example
………………..
“This is going to get spectacular.
the heights to which the utterly unqualified have ascended are dizzying and the fall will make icarus look like he tripped over a garden hose.”
“and this is a good thing.
it’s going to be loud and dramatic and there will be much squawking, but this is what healing looks like.
this is a pendulum getting ready to start swinging back.
competition breeds competence, but when the field of contest is shifted to attestations of intersectional entitlement, the competence gained is perverse and often outright inimical to the actual task at hand. i mean, do you want a heart surgeon who excels at surgery, or one who checks boxes of race and gender and ideology because “equity uber alles”?

There are two types of equity:
1. Equal opportunity (capitalism)
2. Equal outcomes (communism)
With 2., competence is irrelevant. With 1. competence is essential.
Everybody makes choices everyday, in order to discriminate between what is good and what is bad, in order not to die!
