Pop Goes the DEI Bubble

The good news is that economics eventually outlasts the control freaks. Central planning loses. Real life is about markets that every day transmit trillions of price signals of human desires. Those prices inform production much better than any government bureaucrat or Harvard professor. Societal design—remember Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society?—requires government control. I’ll take freedom.

Preferred pronouns are fading. College admissions, and maybe hiring, based on race is illegal. DEI departments are being deconstructed. But while the DEI movement may have peaked, like that Monty Python character, it’s not dead yet. The feverish whining of those grasping for the last reins of power will probably get worse before DEI eventually dies with a whimper.

[Don’t bet on it. Right now, they’re just rebranding DEI into “inclusiveness” to avoid the backlash. Even while dismantling explicit structures of DEI, both Academia and Corporatopia are relying on implicit policies and understandings to enforce its precepts. Don’t let up. — Ed]
