In case you missed it, the topic of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies has been smashed back to top-of-mind recently as two billionaires battle in public over the benefits (or detriments) of corporate DEI efforts.

Mark Cuban (fighting out of the virtue-signaling pro-DEI corner) did not like Elon Musk's (pro-meritocracy, anti-DEI) criticism of diversity goals set by United Airlines pilot-training academy. The airline wanted its academy to have "50% of enrolled students who are women and/or people of color."

Musk wrote on X:

Cuban snapped back:

Musk was not impressed and replied to another user on X, that:

Adding (rather humorously) that "The only way to prove he is not racist AND sexist is to put an Asian woman and a white woman on his basketball team!" reiterating his suggestion for Cuban's (former) NBA team, the Dallas Mavericks.

DEI has become a major point of contention among business executives like Musk and Cuban.

Another billionaire who seems to have recently become un-woke – hedge fund manager Bill Ackman – called attention to the practice last week, saying that DEI was "racist because reverse racism is racism."

Musk agreed with Ackman, calling DEI "just another word for racism."

Cuban, on the other hand, felt that Musk was ignoring the benefits of DEI.

It was at this point that Gad Saad, famed author and expert in evolutionary psychology, jumped in to the fray to unleash a series of truth bombs on X:

Saad points out that he has been explaining for decades that:

The author then highlights the farce in the real world:

Adding a mocking post on X:

This is allowed, Saad explains, because of "past historical grievances."

Saad even wrote a book on the 'parasitic mind virus' that is killing common sense:

"I've explained on countless occasions the distinction between deontological and consequentialist ethics and how the inability to know which principles are deontological causes minds to be parasitized. 

In summary, Saad pulls no punches:

Musk agreed (humorously):

Harsh, but fair. Thoughts, Mr.Cuban?
