How is diversity stronger than uniformity?

Diversity is strong, just ask the commies using diversity as a weapon to destroy our country.

It's not.


Liberals love to talk about the virtues of the Scandinavian countries and they are uniform AF. There is no coincidence that these countries have a high level of social "community".

Diversity for a purpose is not inherently bad. A bunch of people with different backgrounds working together for the same purpose can be good.

But diversity for diversity sake is not good because you then have a bunch of non likeminded people with different goals and thoughts coexisting instead of working together. Bad recipe.

Real, true "diversity" is usually stronger, particularly over time and variable circumstances, than uniformity. Uniformity is very susceptible to a particular flaw or weakness being exploited at scale, among other issues.

Real diversity means diversity of thought, capability, experience, etc. Not this superficial, meritless demographic diversity for diversity's sake.

I mean, if we shouldn't disparage/judge (and to reiterate, WE SHOULD NOT) folks based on immutable characteristics outside that person's control, likewise those characteristics should not be the source of praise, forced inclusion, exception from standards, etc.

In other words, the further we drift from Dr. King's vision, the worse we do.

I also love diversity of music.

Why would you want to listen to the same crap over and over?

The math is out on that one, though... and it really is far more often untrue.

I'm not 100% against diversity of race, because it's more beautiful to see but, if we are honest, it is clearly not as functional when you have as many people as we do.

I will say that in a team setting diversity can be useful. If you're trying to create a certain solution or solve a problem, there truly can be an advantage to having a bunch of people from all different backgrounds who can view the task from different angles and likely come up with the best solution that might not otherwise present itself if everyone is homogenous. However, in real life that diversity is now introducing far more problems than it is solving.

Real trouble is some nutjob took that idea and said well if a small amount of diversity is nice, having everyone be diverse must be better. And here we are now.

If you are forced to pick the best of each of several smaller buckets rather than throwing the members of all the buckets together and picking the best overall you cannot come up with a better set of choices. You might get lucky and come up with an equal set but that would be rare.

Data suggests the opposite, trust decays with diversity.
