I was commenting in relation to what Roger was talking about, that being cognitive differences (a racial/cultural hot potato at the moment) and how many in academia are wanting to basically pretend that if they stick their fingers in their ears this will go away... which it won't, or that they can wallpaper over cognitive differences by awarding favor by group quotas rather than individual merit by pursuing what is called 'equality of outcome'.<br /><br /> Equality of opportunity is where people are given the freedom to pursue their interests as individuals.<br /><br /> Equality of outcome is where people are treated according to their intersectional group identity, and are rewarded or silenced depending on which group is considered higher on the list of the most greivances in an attempt to 'make things fair'. <br /><br />As to your other comment, which I also don't understand what it pertains to, why on earth would you or anyone else to be afraid of me...or Roger for that matter? I really can't tell if you are being vague or just snarky.

Ever. Before his personal visit to IIT Madras (in early-late 1980s, during the Reagen years, may be), or *after* that. <br /><br />No matter what the cost. ...<br /><br />... May be I am rich, or whatever. (Indian IT industry (e.g. postmen's sons etc.) have always acted as if I were one).<br /><br />That's what I am afraid of. ... Not you, Sir; certainly not you. Or the runner of this blog.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />--Ajit<br />Ajit R.

At this point, honesty, integrity, morality and ethics have already been abandoned, and the heart of the matter is laid bare: maintaining power over other people and what they believe.<br /><br />A lot of people in power have been preaching that all people are the same, and if they aren't, they will MAKE them the same through force in the pursuit of equality of outcomes. This is just about the shortest path to hell. <br /><br />CFTnoreply@blogger.com
