Looking for civil discourse only. Paul Graham tweeted the other day about Brian Armstrong being "ahead of his time" in response to Google and Meta slashing DEI-related jobs, and today said "Prediction: Wokeness will recede significantly in 2024.. I think wokeness actually peaked in 2020 or 2021 and has been slowly contracting since then..."
As a Black American, and a founder, I find it concerning that people are still thinking DEI, affirmative action, and "wokeness" are politically correct agendas (especially since we are now in a U.S. Election year). I believe that DEI is necessary to facilitate diversity in perspective in helping build great technology. "Wokeness" is becoming a derogatory term to promote willful ignorance (the opposite of "woke" is "sleep.") What do y'all think?
