To me it's scary how all of these things progress. Looking at where we are I think I can imagine now how totalitarian regimes were born and how they came into power. It starts with virtuous ideas and is followed with more and more restrictions what can be criticized. Eventually any criticism is act of courage. Majority of the people stop expressing their perspective. They disconnect and become silent.

The force behind (regardless whether it is organized or not) will always have ridiculous excuses. They even will tell you it's all based on science. But when you look closer it's not science but some shitty subjective report from Gartner without available data etc.

They will advocate they're introducing fearless culture, but instead it becomes fearful. They will advocate they're introducing inclusive culture, but it becomes exclusive. They will advocate they're introducing equality of opportunities, but it becomes equality of outcome.

After seeing all of this for several years I now have strong opinion that whenever somebody wants to make world more fair it almost always lead to less fair one.
