Not sure what to say about the post, but just as a random association, one of Moldbug’s posts has a funny argument that mixing decreases diversity:
There’s a fun experiment in diversity that you can try in your own home. All you need is a blender, a spoon, and about $30. Take the $30, go to Safeway, and buy four or five pints of ice cream, preferably ultra-premium (Ben & Jerry’s works well), of all different flavors. Chocolate, strawberry, Cherry Garcia, Funky Monkey, and so on. Using the spoon, scoop some ice cream from each of the pints into the blender, until it’s about half full. When you are done, lick the spoon, and make sure it is not in the blender—this will make a very loud noise, and may void your warranty.
Observe the blender carefully. Are its contents diverse? Then: turn it on. Use a high-speed setting such as “Puree,” “Macerate,” “Exsquatulate,” etc. Run the blender for at least thirty seconds, then stop it and let the contents settle. Observe them again. Are they diverse? Are they more, or less, diverse than they were before?
So maybe you need separated populations to have diverse people in the first place, and conservative folks who like homogeneous populations should support “diversity” policies which serve to homogenize, while liberal folks should be against those policies. Not sure what to say about that either.
