>>12606588do we even care? I bet if you proposed big bold ideas to test things like building a giant linear collider (just to give one example) people would rather debate the politics of it, if it were funded, we would allocate 10x too much and 90% would go to consultants who outsource the tasks.
We wouldn't put our best on it but we would measure the racial diversity of it.
Then, we would close down abruptly with a far reduced project scope, let out some more marketing spiel, and promise that the next iteration will be the one that does it.
Meanwhile, all the technical expertise for doing that project would be literally dead, like those people died and they didn't pass their knowledge on.
Experimenting might even become associated with white supremacy. "Scientists aren't born and they aren't bred either" -- "they're created by complex racially diverse groups that collaborate together through the watchful oversight of civil rights attorneys in Washington". Do not question their authority on the matter.
