It's not corporate knowledge that is missing, it's skilled labor.

"Corporate" as in "body", like in "Body of Knowlege." Not corporate as a legal business entity. Corporate knowledge as in what is learned with long experience in a specific job, learning unique details along the way. When the Whites were kicked out of Rhodesia, they took acquired skills that took years to learn. Even though the Whites had Black underlings, the White managers and White owners had needed skills such that an unexperienced Black person could not just walk into the job.

https://4columns.substack.com/p/how-to-hollow-out-an-institution?r=patrick.net

Even Anheuser-Busch seems to think it owes us lectures on “inclusivity” or some other woke nonsense. It is, of course, America’s unwanted, unsupported new religion brought to you by a lot of the same folks who relentlessly sue to get religion out of any public space. So, if you want to destroy an institution, here is a simple list of action steps to help you expedite the process:

First, flood it with women. See higher ed. Fill your ranks to the point where you have a heavy supermajority of women and other docile, emasculated workers governed by lots of rules to protect people from being offended. Bring in as many young, female woke activists as you can who identify as “she/her” in their email signatures.

Second, put women in charge. Give them control of the entire HR/DEI/leadership apparatus. Give them the power to rule over everyone through noxious legal theories and infuse the institutions with feminine values- docility, a healthy work-life balance, getting along with others over doing good work, and “inclusivity” over truth.

Third, let DEI become the unofficial purpose of your institution. This will inevitably happen when you put enough women and feminized men in charge. Accordingly, in my former office, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the emails I received each week pertained to DEI events or initiatives. Another 1/4 pertained to Zoom brown bag sessions on how to care for your aging relatives or how to manage anxiety in the workplace.

Fourth, encourage then require telework. Do everything on Zoom, never meet your coworkers in person again, stay in your pajamas all day!!! Let’s be honest, telework is for mommies. I have nothing against mommies, I just am not one and I don’t think the workplace should cater SOLELY to their needs and interests. In fact, I view telework as a kind of cheating on the job. Being at home takes away your focus, but the mommies and nannies who run our culture won’t admit that.

Once you’ve taken these steps, your institution is well on its way to hollowing itself out and severing any connection to its original purpose. Think about how we handled the pandemic. What might have happened if we hadn’t already become a whining, nagging, hectoring Longhouse of a nation? During the Spanish Flu of 1918, only one city, San Francisco of course, required residents to wear gauze masks in public.

“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” ― Eric Hoffer

The CDC probably started out as a noble cause seeking to protect Americans from infectious diseases, but after almost 80 years it has become an appendage of the pharmaceutical and health insurance industries. A perpetual advocate for more medicines, vaccines, and treatments to inflict on the American people.

So it is with countless other institutions and organizations. Once noble causes, now corrupt rackets. I commend Christopher Rufo’s efforts to openly infiltrate and seize control of these deranged environments, but so many places are so far gone that we need to be talking about eliminating and dramatically shrinking useless, meddling bureaucracies. It’s either that or start building a parallel society that actually recognizes that we need MORE boys in STEM, for example. We can’t go on like this.

Love him or hate him, in the wake of the revolting testimony of the Ivy League presidents last week, Elon Musk called for the inglorious end of DEI earlier today:



In related news, two days ago Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt issued an executive order yanking every DEI office at every public university.

Activists have already filed Lawsuits against the Governor’s order, arguing it violated the First Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. But the order remains in effect while legal challenges are pending, and Oklahoma universities are currently undergoing the review process described in the order.

A few months ago in June, Florida passed a similar law, prohibiting the use of state funds for DEI initiatives at public universities. Legal challenges continue, but no court has yet agreed to stay the law. Meanwhile, Florida’s Board of Governors, which oversees the Florida State University System, is considering further restricting DEI programs, potentially mirroring Oklahoma's move, and is said to be considering reviewing and maybe eliminating categories of DEI positions.

Open the above link and read about a Univ of Michigan student who is Asian American applying to +450 intern jobs and only getting one offer

I read stats like how people of color make up about 38% of middle ranks within the federal civil service. I think it is under reported and a lot more than 38%, and I think Asian Americans are still under represented along with White Americans.

I wonder if corporations now are in the same circumstance as far as demographics and demographic reporting.

You've got to wonder why smaller companies aren't running rings around their competitors now. If a company only hires the best, they should be able to totally kick ass.

GNL says

You've got to wonder why smaller companies aren't running rings around their competitors now. If a company only hires the best, they should be able to totally kick ass.

Because we don't have a free market economic system.

When a company really fucks up, the government bails them out.

5 trillion dollars was used for corona virus relief. 5 TRILLION. Where did that money go?

Corporations, favored corporations.

We haven't had capitalism in decades.

GNL says

Funny thing is its the white people who are doing this, right?

To a large degree, yes, but not by psychologically healthy white people. All of them nurse some resentment or other:

- AWFL's (affluent white female liberals) who have the usual feminist resentments and insecurities
- Jews, who tend to blame all whites for the holocaust
- gays, who resent normal people

The collapse of higher education

What’s wild about higher education is how completely useless it was in response to Covid. All of the tools of the physical and social sciences were abandoned in favor of fear, bias, panic, irrationality, obedience, and profit. The few academics who followed proper methods were fired. We spent hundreds of years developing the university system as a bulwark against tyranny and primitivism. And in the end it was just a Maginot Line that was overrun by the fascists.

That's the most fucked up thing about it. It blows my mind. I've said before that white people, as a group, are the dumbest out there.

Edit: That's the most fucked up thing about it. It blows my mind. I've said before that, in a way, white people, as a group, are the dumbest out there. We are great at building, educating, inventing and organizing. But we lack something. I'd say our achilles heel is allowing others to guilt trip us. The other problem white people have is altruism. Christianity plays a large role in this. IMO

I hate to be white.

It's the billionaire class doing it. I think it's just a way of ending social and economic mobility. It reduces competition for the ruling class, because merit is no longer a factor in advancement, kissing ass is. If you have a moron kissing your ass, well, you're not going to have to worry so much about them superseding you, but if you have a genius underneath you, it's quite possible they will.

You can't do this in a free market, but we're not in a free market.

I think that's true.

White people seem more prone to guilt. Maybe it's even genetic and had to do with evolving for tens of thousands of years in a place with hard winters. If you don't help someone through the winter with food etc, that person may die.

Christianity is about guilt and forgiveness too. So it's part of European culture.

You all have good points. I feel that politics is also a part of it because governments (even Saudi Arabia is experimenting but China isn't so far) are driving this one world/one people agenda utilizing media.

Understand he's trying to sell cars. Although Space X is getting decent internet to weird/rural places. Just expensive as usual with a good 20-30% subsidized by actual taxpayers. I hope the Starlink users are enjoying the rockets we mostly pay for. Most don't.

He likes the attention. Helps him sell Teslas. He doesn't have to pay for marketing when he goes on the biggest podcasts. He knows he's getting softball questions. He has an awkward personality, but I'd say a Bill Gates type is exponentially more annoying and weird. Who wakes up and wants to make vaccines. Maybe cure cancer? Nah. Maybe heart disease without damaging other parts of the body? Nah. Let's make vaccines for a generally healthy population for things that don't kill people. Ding, that's the winner....

Over the past few years, McKinsey has released at least 4 studies claiming a positive relationship between DEI and firm performance.

A new paper published today in Econ Journal Watch finds these results can't be replicated.

"Our inability to [replicate] their results suggests that ... they should not be relied on to support the view that US publicly traded firms can expect to deliver improved financial performance if they increase the racial/ethnic diversity of their executives.''

Intellectual, anticommunist, and conservative commenter James Lindsay persuasively argues that DEI, which like sewer water has now seeped into every nook and crevice of our public and private institutions, is actually a long-term socio-political military strategy by our enemies, principally China, to destabilize the United States. DEI is rendering impotent our military, our government, our universities, and even our strategically-critical corporations staffed by graduates of those undermined universities (think Boeing). If James is right, and I think he is, China’s destruction-by-DEI plan is working perfectly.

I think it was China all along, playing to the bitter incompetents, suggesting that they were unduly deprived of power, when in reality they were deprived of power because they are truly incompetent.

Now all levels of US corporations and government are staffed with comically incompetent woke idiots. China won.

Patrick says

This is like saying Russia hacked our election, but not having any idea how.

DEI is not China, people in top positions of power didn't get there because they were the best, they got there because they are the most ruthless. They aren't competent and they are afraid of more competent people replacing them.

Do you think it's coincidence there's rumors that pedophilia is rampant in positions of power? If you are an intelligence agency and you have two identical and competent people, who would you prefer to be in power? The one you can control.

That's DEI as well. Hire this dumb loyal person that damned well knows they are there is because they are loyal, and that's the ONLY reason they are there. This is why our government is in shambles, everybody in a position of power is compromised. Ethical intelligent people won't play the game, scumbag intelligent people will, but any scumbag will. It will destroy the country, but it could be fixed if people just recognize scumbags are promoted to positions of power, not ethical people.

Adam Smith said: "ENLIGHTENED self-interest" The modifier gets left out.

Meaning, you're at Stage 4 or higher and aware of society, religion, morality, etc. and THEN you balance all that out in your self interest.

You don't say "Deindustrialize the Rust Belt so I can get an extra 1-2% and retire at 45 a multimillionaire. Damn the millions of lost jobs, manufacturing capacity, social effects, fuck those people, I gotta get mine"

That's raw self-interest.

Honestly, the whole "Fuck you all because I gotta be out by 50" is a major factor in the corruption and sell out to the CCP.

On the surface, the Muldrow v. St. Louis decision looks fairly unremarkable. A female St. Louis police sergeant alleged she was transferred to a less prominent job assignment because of her gender. The trouble with her case was her pay and benefits stayed the same, and the city argued she wasn’t harmed. But the Court unanimously agreed that even “small harms” — if tangible — are enough to support a Title VII claim for employment discrimination.

The liberals and conservatives on the Court probably agreed on the case’s conclusion for different reasons.

What has some DEI activists now wringing their hands is that pro-equality conservative lawfare groups hope to use the new decision to push back on Constitutionally repugnant anti-white discrimination. Disadvantaged white employees might now challenge so-called ‘affirmative action’ programs if they advantage minorities over white employees in even minor ways.

Examples might include things like mentoring opportunities open only to minority employees, or a meet-and-greet with executives excluding white folks, both of which may now be actionable under Muldrow’s new “some harms” standard.

Of course. Absurd and abusive premises inflicted through force are the fertilizer of the Hegelian polarization.Patrick says

Patrick says

That's the point of it.

Divide and conquer. If people knew how corrupt that government was, they'd revolt against it. Instead, they are directed to fight among one another.

Our government has no qualms against lying us into a war, spending a trillion dollars, killing millions, so they can make a little scratch off from the conflict. They don't care if the war is won or lost, or how many people die, how many Americans die. They don't care if Jeffrey Epstein is running a child rape ring, the public doesn't, but they might, if the public wasn't directed to hate one another.

I hope this re-branding catches on, it's an explosive term.

WW2 in europe was largely caused by the treaty of versaille. it so emasculated, impoverished, and humiliated the germans that basically nothing but "violent nationalism" could result. they, the biggest, strongest country in the area, were pushed past endurance by "outsiders" who forced it on them because the US was there to require it. but as soon as "dad" went back to north america, the germans and itialians and austrians rounded on the rest of europe and reminded them who were the productive, strong, capable folks around here while being eaten by some truly odious reactionary ideologies.

the rest, as they say, is history. fascism, genocide, and another war to end all wars right on the heels of the last one.

i’m a bit worried about a potentially impending parallel.

imagine what happens to woke and the DEI denizens when they lose the government. imagine the folks who have been marginalized and humiliated by these struggle sessions and forced to play these retarded reindeer games as they rise and reassert themselves.

because it’s coming. in fact, it’s well underway.
