Silicon Valley is full of Indian and Chinese engineers and executives for a reason. The only ones who believe in Western exceptionalism are biased Westerners who lack exposure to the rest of the world and a solid education in world history.

Of course we could ask all sorts of "what if pigs could fly" questions and then redesign our farms as if pigs could fly. But those farms will go bankrupt sooner or later because they won't be competitive. Just like how the West will decline if they keep chasing these false ideas. Meanwhile Asia keeps building and Asian companies keep hiring based on merit. The West won't be able to compete in the long run, not only because of DEI policies but other self-imposed handicaps that stem from the same ideology.
