Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis

>In the first decades of the twentieth century, the idea that individuals should be systematically evaluated and selected based on their ability rather than wealth, class, or political connections, led to significant changes in selection techniques at all levels of American society. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) revolutionized college admissions by allowing elite universities to find and recruit talented students from beyond the boarding schools of New England.

>By the 1960s, the systematic selection for competence came into direct conflict with the political imperatives of the civil rights movement. During the period from 1961 to 1972, a series of Supreme Court rulings, executive orders, and laws—most critically, the Civil Rights Act of 1964—put meritocracy and the new political imperative of protected-group diversity on a collision course. Administrative law judges have accepted statistically observable disparities in outcomes between groups as prima facie evidence of illegal discrimination. The result has been clear: any time meritocracy and diversity come into direct conflict, diversity must take priority.

>The resulting norms have steadily eroded institutional competency, causing America’s complex systems to fail with increasing regularity. In the language of a systems theorist, by decreasing the competency of the actors within the system, formerly stable systems have begun to experience normal accidents at a rate that is faster than the system can adapt. The prognosis is harsh but clear: either selection for competence will return or America will experience devolution to more primitive forms of civilization and loss of geopolitical power

Interesting, but I think the real question on everyone's mind is: does Twilight have a wingboner because of what she's reading, or because of the six-legged Pinkie?

It's definitely six-legged Pinkie.

Finland is facing a similar problem, albeit with vocational schools where the less intelligent and less motivated students go. One workplace trainer described them with "some are capable of nothing more than carrying a toolbox". Another one described their lack of motor skills with "you don't learn them by swiping a phone. I don't expect every teen to be into tinkering, but at least they should have played with legos."

pretty much, if you are a straight, white male with amazing technical skills you might as well kill yourself because you are going to be at the bottom of the hiring list and the last to be considered, I think a lot of people are just saying they are LGBT and making up BS pronouns to game the system and get a job. because if you don't have BS made up pronouns ,a rainbow flag pin and a vagina, preferably a black one they won't even consider you for a lot of jobs anymore
