The Exigent Duality

If you hire the most talented candidates, you'll get the most talented organization. If you overlook the most talented candidates because other candidates have more melanin in their skin or a vagina between their legs, you will get a less talented organization.

Bugs in video games are nothing new, but wifey and I were struggling to come up with a recent modern video game which hasn't been poorly-written. And it seems to be accelerating with the rise of Cultural Marxist, prejudice-based hiring systems.

For example, Duncan and I bought a so-called "Realm"-- which is a Cloud-based dedicated server-- subscription from Microsoft. Our credit card was billed, but four days later we are still unable to play. Meanwhile, Mojang seems more concerned with putting Rainbow People clothes in the game's shop and supporting domestic terrorist organization "Black Lives Matter" on their Twitter feed, than responding to my paying customer service ticket.

It can't help but create the impression that the company has its priorities out-of-whack, and that it's in over its head talent-wise versus the complexity of the system it is being tasked to maintain. It wouldn't surprise me if they and other game companies have had an exodus of talent since these organizations have become radicalized.

The only "broken games" exceptions wifey and I could consistently come up with were Nintendo products, which ship and essentially "just work" right off the memory card, hearkening back to those halcyon 8-bit and 16-bt days of prolific-- white or Japanese males, by the by-- geniuses writing their games in assembler.

Interestingly, whenever I've seen a developer at Nintendo interviewed-- think "Nintendo Directs"-- they've been one hundred percent Japanese, and male: meaning, no forced "diversity" quotas. And the quality of their work shows. Bigger picture, Japan as a country is almost totally racially homogeneous-- and look at how ordered and non-violence their culture is.

But back to the point, this has also occurred at my workplace. As I've written about previously, the head of my group at work said, bald-faced and right in an all-group meeting, that from then on they were going to hire "women and minorities". Meanwhile, this "highly diverse" business group of all women has become so disorganized, staggering from one crisis to the next, that my development team has been operating with quite literally zero business direction for months.

For me personally this has been great: I don't particularly get along with the business people anyway, and I'm so intrinsically-motivated, hard working, independent, and self-directed that I've been more than able to keep myself busy, digging into all sorts of cool things. But how aligned we are with business needs, when the business can't even articulate what those needs are, is somewhat of a mystery.
