The ‘Diversity’ Trap - Progressive ideas about diversity have taken over the corporate world but they offer a skin-deep version obsessed only with color and conformity

Marginal Rev:

 Social media has messed with our minds. The madness of crowds used to be limited by geography, time, and transaction cost–all of which have been lessened by social media. As a result, the crowds are now bigger and madder. And our brains, which are finely tuned to listen to the crowd (meaning the tribe or village ala Dunbar’s number), are overwhelmed when the crowd is in the thousands or millions. We should discount signals which come at the cost of a tweet but we can’t and so the pressures to conform are intense. If your job isn’t protected, stay off social media or at least use a pseudonym. Even if you do nothing today, the crowd may come after you years later so you can never feel safe.

Actually, Cape Cod and The Islands. 

 A richly illustrated full-color guide to the unique plants, wildlife, and environments of Cape Cod and the other nearby “Outer Lands” that face the Atlantic Ocean

OK, we are Cape Codders, and thus biased. But if you know of any getaway place so good for salt air and piney smell, sailing, fishing, hunting (deer, duck and pheasant), gardening (long growing season on the ocean), biking, hiking, dining on day-fresh seafood and Wellfleet Oysters, tell me about it.

Besides that, there is no rich people flavor like Palm Beach, the Islands, Spring Lake, Watch Hill, and the Hamptons. Them folks we have on the outer Cape are very low-profile. It's a Maserati and Porsche-free zone, but you have to deal with "F-Trump" bumper stickers. Whatever. It's a free country, thank God.

I never get invited to Hamptons parties anyway. 

Just no skiing on the Cape, but not too far from it. Beautifully desolate and wet in winter, of course, without any real snow but them's the breaks. You can get out and shoot a duck for supper.

Even though following the C*ck plan of giving them the confederate statues doesn't seem to be working.

Quite the opposite: Meeting aggression with weakness seems to have just encouraged more aggression.

The Summer (1991)

After we come to see it and

know we scarcely live without it

we begin trying to describe

what art is and it seems to be

something we believe is human

whatever that is something that

says what we are but then the same

beam of recognition stops at

one penguin choosing a pebble

to offer to the penguin he

hopes to love and later the dance

of awkwardness holding an egg

on one foot away from the snow

of summer the balancing on

one foot in the flash of summer
