The best way to fight DEI is to do your best to ensure that these spoiled rats won’t be hired.
Yesterday I did my job to fight the onslaught of DEI.
We had a female JMC giving her talk. Her paper is reasonable, but nothing special.
However, I was able to completely derail the talk.
I’m quite proud of myself. I have developed a three-step approach:
1) First, I ask aggressive questions about the empirical method or theoretical assumptions. Regardless of their answer, I keep pushing back.
2) Second, I tell them that I don’t believe their magnitudes or mechanism. This always rattles them.
3) Third, as a final blow, I start having a side-conversation with the person sitting next to me. And I laugh under my breadth.
This three-step approach ensures that the female job candidate is completely rattled. She feels embarrassed and humiliated. And my job is done. I had an office meeting with her afterwards, and I could see that she had been crying in the bathroom. Victory!
Everyday, I do my job to fight the DEI queens of our profession. You should too. You can try using my three-steps approach. It’s easy to learn and a lot of fun to use.
