      The economic opportunity in targeting PR is >> targeting HR because the risk of actually killing the host is much higher with HR. To hit HR sustainably you have to actually want to solve the problem you claim to be addressing. https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1295026956681932801?s=21 …https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1295026956681932801 …

      I think it’s mainly PR now because the market for HR workshop grifts is both limited and already saturated, and more seriously, actually threatens to kill the host. It’s a way to milk the orgs indefinitely without killing them.

      I’m usually wary of criticizing woke from my left-of-center position because it risks creating an opening for pwnage by the right. In this case, I think it’s relatively safe because the right sucks at this class of grift. They’d pwn Corp HR and PR if they could.

      The right currently prefers to pursue grift intentions in the corporate world diffferently, at the cronyism level of the game involving government bailouts/subsidies for execs/owners, and sectoral tariffs. The left sucks at that game. Each side has carved out its parasitic niche.

      As a minority, but with sharply limited intersectional klout (straight brown-Asian immigrant male non-aspie techie is worth say 3.5/10 points in the oppression hierarchy, where straight white male would be 0.5/10), my n=1 case is not worth much but...

      ... personally I have more than one episode in my personal history of firmly rejecting grifters trying to “represent” me. This does not mean I haven’t benefitted from thoughtful individual and institutional efforts, both one-off and structural, to benefit classes I’m part of.

      I have zero illusions about the history of this country or how people who looked like me were treated even a few decades ago. I have zero illusions about what colonial rule in India was like and what atrocities it perpetuated. There are real legitimate political aims here.

      Decolonizing minds is a real need. Activism in history made real gains. Civil rights pioneers made real sacrifices and scored real victories against human monstrousness. Making the economy more representative of the population is a genuine need. Hiring and education must evolve.

      But grifter bullshit that plants and detonates toxic mistrust bombs in the economic engine not only serves none of these aims, it actively works against them. While also destroying the hard-won legacies of past social justice revolutionaries.

      How do you actually make continued gains in the story of “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice” The arc doesn’t bend itself. It’s like Moore’s law. Beneath the natural seeming trajectory there’s very strenuous active human effort.

      With Moore’s law, the 18-month doubling period of transistor density wasn’t a natural law. Every few years techies had to rethink large parts of the semiconductor stack to keep making the gains. The tricks that worked in 1970 ran out of juice by 1980 and new tricks were needed.

      yeah, it was more of a management techique, a goal to place in the minds propelling an industry, but, there was also a physical reality to the fact that as you increased density you would increase efficiency and the available speeds. there are similar scaling laws in fusion
