Annoyingly-long Vivek post that’s getting him torn to shreds
Have put off even responding to it at all, because it’s so full of nonsense
Alright here we go
(1) “Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.”
= The hoes aren’t throwing themselves at the engineers
Bro. No country has its hoes throwing themselves at the engineers for engineering sake
Maybe if you had been born in India, instead of Ohio, you’d realize this
Now if you’re talking about what bros prize in other bros… it’s simply not true
Must be talking about the hoes not bros
(2) “A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.”
= I believe American TV is a documentary on American reality
Most retarded error in the book
Usually only foreigners with no IRL non-tourist experience in US thinking the TV is the reality
…But you were born in Ohio
Bro have you seen Bollywood?
Is anyone dumb enough to believe that Bollywood is a documentary of Indian reality?
(3) “I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity”
= Only immigrant families restrict their children’s TV watching
Bro, you really think that’s immigrant-specific?
(5) “Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn.”
= ???
Bro, tf you talking about?
(6) “This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again.”
= …You mean ensuring that those employed employed in the next space race are ~100% “white” people?
Vivek, bro, your whole role was to be the “smart” dude
None of these arguments are even smart, at all, let alone any good
So much more wrong with this
Bro what were you thinking
Will point out though — The percentage of people genetically predisposed to becoming any type of serious engineer is something like 1-in-2000
IN NO NATURAL POPULATION IN THE WORLD is being an engineer 1-in-2 “normal”
Not in the US, not in India, not in Israel
NO WHERE
Being engineering-capable is far more naturally rare than those who surround themselves with a high engineers each day realize.
1-in-2000, not 1-in-2, or even 1-in-10
Maybe a small fraction of a percent, at most, if you really stretch the definition of engineer
Nothing “normal” about being a serious engineer at all. It’s extremely abnormal at the natural population level.

So his arguments weren’t smart
Let’s see if they at least had some kind of emotional appeal?
Oh
No, no they did not

Asian, Indian tech culture always been about zero-sum memorization of already solved problems,
Extreme obedience to school authorities
Extremely high grades
US tech culture always been about dropping out of school,
Defying authorities and classic credentials,
Creating new things long before any school could have a chance to teach them, because you’re literally inventing whole new fields
Radically different, in the most fundamental ways

US tech, from the start, been about breaking rules, defying authorities, dropping out of school
Commie big tech, the complete opposite
Burn big tech

But then why aren’t the masculine countries exactly dominating, especially entrepreneurially?
Reason is a second critical dimension
= Uncertainty Avoidance, boldness
Latin America, East and Central European countries, as well as Japan = High on uncertainty avoidance, afraid of uncertainty, despite being otherwise masculine
Nordic, and Chinese cultures = Unafraid of uncertainty, despite being otherwise femine
Result?
= It’s a wash, for these countries.
You really need both to thrive entrepreneurially.
Both masculinity & unafraid of uncertainty
Does any country have both, at the population level?
Only US, by overwhelming evidence
Is what it is

Not happening because of the one group in STEM that real merit-based hiring would destroy the most
The one group that is the most untouchable
