You cannot be serious. I have no sympathy and absolutely pure hatred for white nationalist nazi types on Breitbart. That is justified. I can't wait for all the racist old whites to die out in 3 to 4 decades resulting in world peace.
The problem is the racial manner in which he has chosen to conduct his campaign. Today we see the normalisation of hatred and marginalisation of entire races and religions. It's not even dog whistles, rather flat out villification purely based on observable groups. It might not bother the average white male, but believe it or not, there are other groups in society who will uprise one day in a very violent manner if this kind of rhetoric continues.
Could I ask what alternative careers you've looked at and specifically how to break into them - recruiters, networking, speculative application? Honestly, I'm constantly terrified of what happens as I near that age with responsibilities and an inevitable redundancy because of the silent ageism in our industry.
Yes, of course, "The Spectator" home of the Bullingdon Eton clique to peddle their elitist propaganda against the working classes. I shalln't be wasting my time with that drivel.
Distilling the essence of your argument, how is it any different to, for instance, heteronormative gender roles a la women for childbirth and domestic rearing? Are societies "easier to establish and sustain" in this binary configuration purely because they "tend to self-organise as such" for millenia?
I mean you may claim no one can force this heterogenous utopia but it is most certainly the future.
> mechanisms such as racial, gender, age, and cultural bias are so common. They're easy to apply, aren't entirely wrong (relatively homogeneous groups tend to operate better than nonhomogeneous ones, though there are many arguments about resilience and creativity/diversity)
I'll accept cultural homogeneity having worked in different cultures myself. But if you're seriously suggesting that racial, gender and age groupings are correlated with performance and subconsciously okay, you're going to have to provide a very convincing argument.
1. It doesn't actually test my ability. Most of the time there is a stackoverflow solution and I'm going to just look it up and regurgitate it. I can't remember where I read this but allegedly it took Knuth a day of thinking to come up with the most optimal solution for one of the presented challenges (it was either the maximum subarray sum or stock sell problem).
2. It's all very well preparing for these interviews at my age (under 30, no responsibilities or family, generous severance from my previous employer), however, what happens 10 years down the line with responsibilities and hungry mouths to feed.
