    Janet Petro—the first woman to hold the position since its founding 67 years ago—wrote that diversity programs “divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination,”

    In 2021, when she was the director of Kennedy Space Center, she spoke at length in an interview about the value of diversity, saying “our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility has been paramount to mission success.”

    The turnaround is giving me whiplash.

    There’s no begrudging following of the rules, it’s wholeheartedly embracing the new regime.

        Sun-Tzu actually described how this works with soldiers, and how do you work with such gentle material. I’d say his book’s parts on psychology are about making a Hugo Boss from a wannabe Oskar Schindler, but if one applies his advice to oneself, one can put different goals.

        I also like Marcus Aurelius.
