Even Chicago is in on the game. I think they should include at least a session on political correctness.

don't women know thatif you are not our sister/mother/wife then you are not allowed to complain about us? Some men need to rein in their womenfolk.Do you think any questions will be honestly addressed? This conference reminds me of CCP meetings on how Xi Jingping has made China stronger. No one is going to come in with critical findings. American institutions also have their own unquestionable assumptions: that all groups are equally capable and will produce equally good outcomes when given the same opportunities. This is the orthodoxy of the West, actually. Every other view is now forbidden and regarded as hateful. I find it disgusting to see economists participate in such propaganda.

The irony is that findings on the positive effects of genetic (race, gender etc...) diversity will never be taken seriously until they are subject to fulsome criticism of that only ideological diversity can provide.
Similarly, CCP will never be accepted as legitimate until they stop censoring critical opinions and win a free election in China. I would have expected that a U of Chicago conference on diversity would also have included the rare people who could provide a diversity of opinion,e.g., invitations to people like Philip Tetlock in psychology. Do they even exist in economics?
