I was going to say this sounds a lot like the conservative strawman that postmodernism means the total rejection of objective reality.
Then I read the post-meritocracy manifesto and wow some of those “our values” bullet points are facepalm worthy.

to be honest it takes a bit of time just to find any mention of russia related topics at all (and then the first one is just a news article with zero comments)

Oh I forgot about stereo, ha.
at high signal strength LDAC should default to 990kbps… which is kind of ridiculous since it’s so high it’s higher than some lossless codecs, like uncompressed 16-bit 48kHz. (which is higher than standard CD quality)
the problem is that for every ideas man, you need at least 20 people to actually do the work. And that work is a lot more tedious than being the one who comes up with the ideas
and of course, most people can’t tell the difference between a “good ideas man” and a “bad ideas man”, and there are a lot more of the latter
when exactly did that happen
well sure, epistemology says we can never be absolutely certain of almost anything. But the alternative to ideas is… what exactly?
the entirety of stackoverflow is not enough data to make the AI work properly. They need terabytes of text, stackoverflow has about 50-100GB of useful data at most
it seems people realized this and the old cards aren’t even properly falling in price anymore, even on the used market

the best you can ever do is make physical attacks more inconvenient, and it succeeds at that.
Here’s another “critical vulnerability”: the attacker can insert a physical device to intercept all keystrokes, and steal the key whenever the user enters it. A hidden camera can also accomplish this

Though if a chinese ship gets seized in international waters, that would be convenient ‘precedent’ for china to start seizing other ships in international waters in the south china sea

Bacon is a superfood
Raw potatoes are a superfood
Poppy seeds are a superfood

the best part is when the police training material prominently features quotes from adolf hitler
I don’t see affirmative action as fundamentally bad. Applied correctly and not too heavy-handedly, the privileged will still have equal opportunity to enroll or get the job, per amount of effort they put in, etc. And even if it is a bit too strong, their privilege will most likely make up for it in other ways.
In practice though, it’s highly susceptible to backfire effects and is usually on the wrong side of “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. You can’t expect someone who grew up malnourished, undereducated and generally mistreated by society to suddenly bounce back and become a “model citizen” when they get a good job or scholarship, statistically speaking.
