The issue brought

The issue of DEI keeps coming up diversity equity and inclusion and it is an issue fraught with hurt feelings and a lack of honesty.

And the lack of honesty is for a simple reason because of the hurt feelings.

See, the truth is painful to some people.

If you were, let's say you're a fan of the NFL. For about a 20 year span there, the most dominant

team by far was the New England Patriots. But the fans of all the other teams wanted their team to win.

So they would argue, my team's better than your team, but no, actually your team doesn't

win the Super Bowl and the Patriots do.

It's just that simple. But if it hurts your feelings, we'll say that your team which came in last place is the best team and the Patriots really aren't.

And we can make excuses, we can do the film, we can do the inflated, but we can make every excuse

known to mankind.

And we can say your team is better.

In fact, we can make your team the Super Bowl champion. We can just call them the champion even though they don't

win. And then everybody will be happy, right? And that's what you do if your primary

goal is to avoid hurting people's feelings.

So what people learn when they want to get their way,

as children do, is they learn what behaviors will allow them to get their way.

You see a child manipulate a parent and every parent you know you've you've been there a kid who has a boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo and put a band-aid on it and for little while there, he doesn't have to do his homework.

Mama's fussing, she's using that sweet mama tone.

Oh, it's so nice.

He can eat what he wants. He's not required to do anything, and maybe we can even have some ice cream. Oh, it's good.

So if you're a kid, you go, oh, hypochondria pays.
