    You cannot and SHOULD not even attempt to reduce entire peoples down to an algorithm or any sort of system.  Just... be human?

    Here's what Tycho had to say about it:
    Quote:The Diversity Space Tool is an instrument created by Satan to corral and commodify human richness, and one of the fascinating things about it is that it's almost universally loathed. People don't agree on shit, and they agree on this. It's a very Fallout, "everybody hated that" type situation. Of chief importance is that it's hated by the people they pretended to serve. The request was not "make a piece of software that reduces the panoply of Earth's peoples and cultures into geometric shapes," the request was "please listen to us. Please allow us to be co-equal participants in the manufacture and experience of culture."
    This is why I wouldn't trust corporate allyship any further than you can throw it. Inventing digital phrenology is an utterly predictable maneuver; "diversity" becomes just another KPI, and as such, it must be systematized. Which means abstraction from reality, which is to say, greater alienation. That they manufactured this shit is an indictment; that they revealed it with such revolting, unctuous piety is beyond conception.

    Sterling has also injected a rather obvious point.  What does it mean to be "more ethnic" on this dial?  More "gender"?  We all know what it means if you're right in the center.  White English speaking male.  The chart itself is used to indicate how much of an aberration someone is from the cultural norm, and if you as an A-B employee managed to get something really aberrant, good jorb!  You did an equality!

    No...
    "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
