Diversity is our Strength
Black Pigeon Speaks just released the most heavily-cited and well-edited videos on the “Diversity is our Strength” lie that I’ve ever seen. Even if you’re already aware of how false that statement is, you may still pick up something new from his video – I wasn’t aware of the mathematical/game theory analysis, though it doesn’t surprise me at all.
Interesting addition: did you know that in territories where different races of grasshoppers coexist, their mating calls become more extreme, so as to differentiate the races? Suggesting that all species are racist? I picked that up from The Ancestors Tale by Richard Dawkins; far and away the best thing he’s ever written, far superior to his amateurish philosophical works, it’s the sort of thing that might just buy him a ticket into Heaven.
Heh, the Reformation’s roots stem from buying (allegedly) one’s trip to Heaven.
Totally agree with video.
You back in Canada yet??
