Are we going to start whiting out any mentions of the Turing test, next, as he was apparently also a DEI hire? Can we still eat peanut butter? Is my neighbor’s Akita a DEI dog?

How incredibly stupid this country got, in just a few years. How sad and small.

    Oh, we've been this stupid for a very long time. It reached a tipping point in power, but that was the result of decades of carefully calculated induction of ignorance and fear.

It’s DEI hiring to hire people who were hired to speak their own fairly unstudied Native American language?

It’s clear (and this is yet another case) that this whole DEI non issue is a fabricated propaganda dog whistle to certain people.

This will go down in American history for all the dreadful reasons it deserves. Absolutely dark and disgusting times America has entered.

    History is written by the victors unfortunately and world history gives me little reason to believe things will be different this time around. Part of the point of erasing all these things is quite similar to destroying the past to control the future. But from their perspectives this is all corrupt, immoral, unethical information barely distinguishable ethically or even worse than Mengele’s experimental data. Except even people left of absolute insanity somewhat concede the relative scientific validity of all the data obtained while those ordering the deletions and redactions now have zero authority nor experience in the fields.

    It’s a pity that creating anything of value takes at least an order of magnitude more effort than to destroy something, but I suppose this is why we’re funding back-ups and archives of all this data out there.

      Propaganda is written by the victors and the surviving defeated. History is written by historians.
