Vivek going up in flames

You disagree with an X post of his therefore he’s “going up in flames”? Don’t be so dramatic.

Top companies hire non Americans because of DEI policies that provide financial incentives for hiring non-whites.

Middle management is full of these hires who just continue the process.

I agree with Vivek.

There is a philosophical problem that he misses and I imagine most of the posters on here will too (but I'm the past many would not) these days.

I wonder how long it will be until it's pointed out

Chat GPT summary of Viveks post.

quote:

---

The text argues that the preference for hiring foreign-born and first-generation engineers by top tech companies is not due to an innate IQ deficit among Americans but rather a cultural issue. It critiques American culture for celebrating mediocrity over excellence, starting from a young age. Popular media and social norms often prioritize social status and conformity over intellectual achievement, discouraging the development of top engineering talent.

The author contrasts “normal” American parenting, which emphasizes leisure and socializing, with immigrant parenting, which prioritizes academics, discipline, and hard work. Immigrant families are portrayed as fostering STEM success by limiting TV, encouraging math and science, and focusing on extracurricular achievements.

The text calls for cultural reform, urging Americans to prioritize excellence, hard work, and intellectual rigor to compete globally, particularly against countries like China. It envisions this shift as a potential “Sputnik moment,” pushing the U.S. toward renewed focus on achievement to secure its future in a competitive world.

Having a hard time seeing how he's wrong.

It’s not the “c” word. It’s the “m” word. Money.

Foreign born “engineers” are cheap.

If you want to prove out competency only hire electronic/computer engineers that legally can call themselves “engineer” by passing the Professional Engineering exam in their state of residency.

If you say you are a smart and competent engineer, prove it.

How is he wrong? American pop culture is idiocracy personified. We are a fat, stupid and entitled populace, which is why DEI and social justice ideologies are so popular here.

This was not always the case for America. This is purely a 21st Century issue.

However, lets take your statement at face value. If its true that American pop culture is idiocracy personified, why are their millions of people actively trying to come here yearly? Why would these individuals want to be associated with such a society unless they agreed with it?

They don't want any part of our society bro, they come here for the free shite and economic mobility; capitalism.
