The War of Ideas and the Disaster of Diversity

SEE HERE What is diversity anyway?  I'm not really sure.  It seems to be a commitment to the idea that differences among people don't matter and frankly that is preposterous.  Differences do matter.  Some differences matter a lot, and some don't matter at all, but as a general rule differences are what differentiate so diversity is not an unmitigated good, it just depends on the nature of the differences.  It would be nice to see the discourse controlled by reality and the reality is that the only thing that ultimately matters is the truth.  Truth and reality are really the same thing.  If you believe something, whether diverse or not, that isn't true, then sooner or later the fact that it isn't true will bite you.  False things lead to bad action informed by error.  So of all things the one that matters the most is to discover and hold to what is true.
