The Enrichment Report #11

 A selection of articles showcasing the benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion:

• "Tren de Aragua has already set up shop in these 16 states, Homeland Security warns"--New York Post. Specifically: Washington, DC, Virginia, Montana, Wyoming, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin.
  
• "Migrants armed with loaded AR-15 attack police in deep blue city, then are released"--Fox News. The article indicates that the illegal alien with the AR-15 was charged with possession of a machine gun, which makes me think it may have been illegally modified. 
• "Venezuelan migrant with ties to Tren de Aragua busted in sick robbery of NYC prosecutor after she caught him masturbating in her home"--New York Post. 
• "‘Rape Trees’ And Discarded Passports: Congress Hears Horrors Of Migrant Child Trafficking"--Daily Wire. Must be why Leftists like illegal immigration.
  
• Related: "Chip Roy demands answers from Biden administration over 150,000 lost unaccompanied migrant children"--Washington Examiner.
  
• From before the election: "WashPost OpEd: Young Americans ‘Must’ Shrink Their American Dream"--Breitbart. From the lede:

President Donald Trump says he’s running to restore the American Dream by cutting migration, but the Washington Post says young Americans should resign themselves to small houses in a nation packed with millions of government-imported renters and buyers.

• "Trump’s border czar Tom Homan reveals new details of mass deportation plan, debunking frenzied liberal speculation"--New York Post. The gist of the plan is that ICE will shift a lot of its agents from desk jobs and onto the street finding and arresting illegals, and military personnel will temporarily take over the desk jobs. 
• "From Mad Magazine to Matisyahu: How Jews Made American Culture Great" by Mark Judge at Hot Air. Judge begins his piece by writing: "In 2024 it’s not enough to just defend Jewish people from the onslaught of violence and antisemitism they are experiencing. As Americans we need to love the Jewish people for what they have contributed to our country." This sounds suspiciously similar to the DEI refrain that "it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist." 
• "Disney Removes Children’s Cartoon Episode About Transgender Athletes"--Breitbart. From the lede: "Disney has reportedly decided to shelve an episode of the children’s cartoon series Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, apparently over its plot concerning a transgender high school athlete." Even a worm can learn.
  
• "Mother-of-four is handcuffed in front of her children and hauled to jail for letting 11-year-old son walk less than a mile into town where just 370 people live"--Daily Mail. A female deputy sheriff stopped the boy and drove him home, later returning to arrest the mother. Then the Division of Family and Children's Services (i.e., more liberal women) got involved. She's been told that if she signs a "safety plan" which requires that her son be tagged and monitored at all times the charges against her will be dropped. 
• "Academia is Women’s Work"--Barsoom Substack. An article examining the dominance of women in academia as a result of evolutionary psychology. Key point:

    If you want your society to produce transcendent excellence in a given field, the only way to do so is to attach a competitive male status hierarchy to it. With status on the line, men will throw themselves into the arena, immersing themselves completely, devoting their every waking moment to mastering a skill or subject, making it their life’s purpose to push a discipline beyond its limits. Competitive pressures between the best of the best then raises performance to its apogee. Iron sharpens iron.

    Conversely, if you want reliable mediocrity, then you want women’s work. Women don’t have the same sexual incentive to compete with one another in performance, and so, by and large, don’t (they compete in other ways). Their instinct is to perform to a perfectly acceptable standard, but not, in general, to push themselves to exceed it.

But, as the author points out, to allow women to enter a male dominated field in any numbers will eventually drive the men out. He explains:

    Men are constantly on the lookout for arenas in which they can prove their worth, and thereby attract a mate or, more accurately, as many mates as possible. Across the myriad competitive arenas that men have invented, there is one common element shared by all of them, which both men and women are exquisitely sensitive to:

    An arena cannot be dominated by women.

    The reason for this is obvious. The purpose of the arena, from the male point of view, is to demonstrate his worth relative to other men. To enter an arena filled with women is to engage in a lose/lose proposition: if one does poorly, one has been beaten (up) by girls; if one does well, one has beaten (up) girls. Neither outcome is going to impress the girls. Or, for that matter, the guys.

    For this reason, men who enter a social environment in which women predominate will tend to make a hasty exit. There is nothing for them there

And also, the author argues, the reason for men abandoning academia. It's a very long piece, but worth the read.
