| No question. We are living amongst the dumbest generation of human beings that have ever existed in human history. | |
| That's not even a question, not even for debate, especially in the West. | |
| Actually, I would say almost exclusive to the West. | |
| Western society is falling apart. | |
| And it's largely because we're extremely privileged. | |
| There's no suffering, right? | |
| And so when there's no suffering, we just start to make ourselves suffer. | |
| We start looking for things, these fake social justice pursuits, trying to look for bad stuff everywhere because actually we all grew up quite well, right? | |
| We're not suffering like our great-grandparents were suffering or our great-great-grandparents were suffering. | |
| And it's especially problematic here in America, where we have seen this initiative, | |
| an utterly stupid initiative to push DEI, which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion, | |
| which means I no longer wanna hire you based on merit. | |
| I want to intentionally pursue people based on how they look. | |
| I want to include people based on how they look, right? | |
| Because it makes you feel good or something. | |
| And so kind of a war of words has broken out, if you're not following this, | |
| between two billionaires, Elon Musk and Mark Cuban, about DEI and how foolish or not foolish it is. | |
| And Elon Musk is quite a sensible man. | |
| He believes that DEI—he wrote this tweet to Mark Cuban, or in general, actually, he wrote this tweet to a journalist— Which DEI does is literally the definition of racism. | |
| That is pretty to the point and accurate, of course. | |
| If you are saying that you are going to—this is such a thing as positive discrimination. | |
| Oh, you know, I was going to hire this person, but I'm glad that you're a black person, and so I'm going to hire you instead. | |
| How about you just hire the best person for the job? | |
| Hello, meritocracy. | |
| Mark Cuban doesn't like this, and he is writing a long-winded post to Elon Musk to explain to him the benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion. | |
| I'm going to go through this quickly, but here are some of his points. | |
| He says, We're good to go. | |
| That makes absolutely no sense. | |
| It's just ridiculous. If you are naturally excluding people from the hiring consideration, there's probably a reason that you're doing that, right? | |
| Common sense tells you not to hire certain people. | |
| As an The D'Obra person that we just covered who jumped the judge, right? | |
| There are people that you naturally say are not qualified for a position because as a capitalist and a person that is running a business, common sense dictates to you that you should hire the person that is best qualified for the job, not on a basis of how they look necessarily. | |
| But he goes on to then talk about why equity is good. | |
| Treating people equally does not mean treating them the same. | |
| I made the mistake for a lot of years thinking that it did. | |
| No, it does, Mark. | |
| Don't overthink this. | |
| Treating people equally does mean that you are treating them the same. | |
| You don't start treating people exceptionally on the basis of how they look. | |
| You don't say, well, because you're a woman, I'm going to treat you like this. | |
| or because you're a man, I'm going to treat you like this. | |
| Treat them both equally, Mark, don't overthink it. | |
| He then says inclusion as point number three. | |
| One of my favorite sayings is that great employees reduce the stress of those around them. | |
| I agree with that. | |
| Great companies create environments that reduce the unnecessary stress of their employees. | |
| I'm not talking about hitting a quota or getting the product out the door, which in turn increases productivity. | |
| This is what inclusion is all about. | |
| Making all employees, no matter who they are or how they see themselves, feel comfortable in their environment and able to do their job. | |
| Again, it's not easy. | |
| Yay! Rainbow sprinkles. | |
| I'm going to make everybody feel good today. | |
| How are you feeling? How are you feeling today? | |
| How are you feeling today? | |
| How is everybody? I just want to make sure everybody's feeling okay. | |
| Does everybody want to skittle? Are we all... | |
| No! No! | |
| Leave your drama at the door. | |
| I don't care what you are going through. | |
| The purpose of running a business is for everybody to show up and to perform, okay? | |
| A society can't thrive, a business can't thrive when you care about every single emotion of every person that walks through the door. | |
| We need less of that, obviously. | |
| If we're going to be able to even compete with other countries, do you think this is happening? | |
| Do you think that the billionaires in China are writing threads like this? | |
| Of course not. Well, this debate sort of reached a fever pitch between these two billionaires when an Alaskan airline flight, you probably saw this in the news, had a door that just flew off of its hinges mid-flight with 170 people on board. | |
| Apparently, it had some loose door bolts. | |
| Unbelievable. Here, you can see the picture here. | |
| Gratefully, nobody was sitting in those two seats that are being pictured. | |
| And because they had really just taken off, everybody mostly had their seatbelts on. | |
| So nobody died midair. | |
| But of course, this could have been a tremendous tragedy. | |
| Imagine if this was flying to Hawaii. | |
| This was flying over water. | |
| This would have been A bunch of people would have died. | |
| That is the truth. We're good to go. | |
| And so Elon Musk and Mark Cuban picked up their feud online pertaining to this. | |
| And Mark Cuban is essentially trying to say that the DEI policies and the training policies that all of these airline policies, that all of these airline carriers are now practicing are totally fine. | |
| It's totally fine because eventually qualified people are going to be flying these planes. | |
| Listen, let me be very clear. | |
| I do not want DEI policies, especially when they are being dictated by billionaires who don't even touch their own door handles, right? | |
| When a billionaire like Mark Cuban, who does not fly public, it's ironic that he is weighing in on this and saying that these DEI policies are good for you guys. | |
| They're going to be great for all of us, not great for him, because again, he probably has multiple planes, doesn't fly private. | |
| I don't want it. You shouldn't want it either. | |
| You should not care if every pilot in the sky is a white, straight male. | |
| You shouldn't care. You should just want the best pilot to be in the sky. | |
| And I'm going to be honest. We're all being honest. | |
| I think we can agree. I prefer male pilots. | |
| We recently saw some airline, I think it was Southwest, where they said, this is going to be the first flight where there's two women. | |
| There's two women pilots in the air. | |
| I'm not particularly comfortable with that. | |
| There is this natural instinct that we have to want to see certain sexes in certain positions. | |
| That natural instinct is being guided by our biology. | |
| That biology is then determining the sociology of our society, okay? | |
| When it comes to having a nurse, if I had to have a bedside nurse that takes care of | |
| me in the hospital, like when you give birth, I want a woman. | |
| There's a reason for that, women, the natural components of our femininity. | |
| It leads to us being more nurturing. | |
| Women know what to do with children. | |
| When it comes to me being able to leave the house and trust that my children are taken | |
| care of, I want a woman in that role. | |
| I don't know if that makes me a sexist. | |
| I don't particularly care. | |
| I'm not going to, just because I want to morally crusade about DEI, hire a bunch of men to | |
| take care of my kids. | |
| I want a lady when it comes to that, and when it comes to engineering, when it comes to | |
| mechanics, when it comes to cars, when it comes to pilots and planes, I want a man. | |
| You know why? | |
| Because I'm raising a son, and I see that their brains work differently. | |
| I see that my little two-year-old son's fascination with every garbage truck, plane in the sky, how he wants to sit there and understand how it works, that is natural. | |
| He has a natural proclivity towards that while my girl wants to play with Barbie dolls and sing songs. | |
| She naturally seems to be more nurturing in those aspects. | |
| I refuse to live in a society that is governed by some ridiculous idea that we can't acknowledge that there are differences between the sexes. | |
| So yeah, go ahead, add it to the long list of things that I am. | |
| I don't know if that makes me an internalized misogynist or a sexist, but I prefer my pilots. | |
| To be smart, well-equipped, and yeah, male at the end of the day. | |
| Not saying that it ain't a great thing when some woman breaks barriers and decides that she's going to fly a plane and that's what she'd want to do for the day that she was born, but I consider that to be the exception and I prefer to follow the rules. | |
