@CoreyWriting DEI aside… your industry tried to “transform admissions” to account for ppl with imperfect credentials but great potential, and overcorrected.
You may think you have a good baramoter for what’s remarkable but instead you’re driving the decline of our most elite institutions
@Neoblade47@raghav2956 Sure… Irish hated Italians, sects of Christianity fueded. Etc. Etc.
People will find ways to differentiate themselves from the “other”.
America survived despite that.
That doesn’t mean “more dissimilarity” builds a cohesive functioning nation… but it can destroy one.
@AJButton2 All of these companies and “technological innovation” would have happened anyway, even if none of these people existed.
Hilariously, you give credit to Pichai for what Google is today (troll).
Credit belongs to Page and Brin, but even Google would’ve existed without those two.
@AshwinRamaswami Also, what exactly do you believe? You should clarify.
The majority of engineers who can do what you describe come from where again?
You’re saying that America’s pool of immigrants is the best place to find these types of engineers?
@AshwinRamaswami 😂
90%+ of startups are trash - replicas of products that already exist, to “build from scratch” and be a “founder.”
Even the pitches are redundant garbage… “we’re here to reinvent, erm, revolutionize, erm, TRANSFORM the [x] industry!” (by doing the exact same thing as before)
@fadead0206@yashmp2004 Some of us realize we have more than enough quality institutions here, actually probably double the amount we need, with half of the degrees being useless debt machines.
Why would we go to another country besides for vanity “travel abroad” dreams?
The whole system is broken.
@Cernovich Big tech has gradually lowered pay over the last 5 years. Now some even beginning to ramp up outsourcing - through the guise of “our [insert foreign country] satellite office”.
Layoffs are actively reducing Americans.
Meanwhile the H1B system is replacing them.
@fadead0206@yashmp2004 Well it’s a lot of people’s fault, including our politicians.
If you’re already in debt from undergrad, graduate education becomes an undesirable hurdle for anyone thinking economically.
Foreigners get the “same debt” for a higher degree, and appear to be “more educated”.
@threepercent519@WrldSpectator@NYGeshikta@PalmerLuckey@paulg The American college system is as perverted as the American job market.
Foreigners get a cheap “degree” in their home country, meanwhile Americans go deep in debt for their undergrad.
Colleges then take in masses of foreign graduate students who will pay them money.
