Well, it looks like we finally found something that Elon doesn't do very well. Apparently trying to communicate common sense to an idiot is one area where he is ineffective.

---

It's a well known fact that if you have more than a 50 point difference in IQ between people it is very hard for them to communicate. This is one of those cases.

Math doesn't care and science doesn't care what color or sex you are. Let the best person win. FWIW I live in Austin and one of the best bike mechanics I have ever had was some dude that was 6'2 and dressed like a woman. I don't care what he dressed like or what he wanted to call himself, he was really good at fixing my bike and was actually a really nice person.

Just hire the best person for the job. Unfortunately people like Lemon are why we can't have nice things.

I watched this when it first came out.

Lemon's problem is that he argues from the false premise that dei doesn't lower admittance standards. He categorically wrong on that point.

Why are people still giving Lemon interviews? I thought he was unemployed and we didn't have to ever listen to him again.

Don Lemon is one of the worst out there. Always playing victim, always a cry baby. All he does is play race politics.

Elon correctly explains why lowering the standards for medical care in the name of inclusivity is a terrible idea. Don Lemon’s brain can’t grasp the concept.

I disagree with the sentiment.

Don is where he is at because he is good at what he does. He tries, in as many ways as possible, to trip up Elon on the message that he is stating.

Elon's message is simple. If we lower standards for surgeons so that we have more black surgeons, people will die. Don attacked that every which way you could. But, Elon held his ground, very politely. He's not saying that black surgeons are not as good. He is saying, don't lower the standards. He held his ground against the mind virus, and, that is admirable.

---

I would disagree slightly with what you just said at the end. If you have to lower standards to get black surgeons in, then no, they are not "as good". I don't necessarily think that is true, but if you are having to lower your standards to allow you to admit any demographic, then objectively it means they are less qualified than the other demographic groups.

---

I think we violently agree, even if I was not articulate enough. See my edit.

Elon is not saying that minority surgeons are not as good. He is saying, don't lower the standards, because if you lower standards so that you can get a certain demographic in, that is less than optimal; overall, surgeons will not be as good. Surgery is a very high risk thing, and, if you have less than the very best people working on surgery, people will die.

Better?

He switched to doing "twitter shows". His first guest was Musk. After the interview, Musk was so pissed off with that loser Lemon that he canceled the show and kicked him out.
So he is now on Youtube.

You know when you're arguing with your wife or girlfriend during their time of the month and they are so flooded with hormones and emotions that the introduction of logic is like kryptonite to them and they demand to argue only on emotional terms, and as a result, they end up sounding like a 10 yr old? That is exactly how Don Lemon argues. I'm embarrassed for him, and he has no clue how foolish he makes himself look.

---

lol that is exactly how it is.

My wife even explicitly says "WHY do you always bring logic into this?".

---

Tell her because you like sanity versus insanity. Report back.

Is Lemon disagreeing that the standards will be lowered to implement DEI hiring practices? It sounded like they were referencing an article that talked about this, but the short clip didn't make it clear?

Based on that clip, I believe his is making that argument.
