I’m not sure I have an opinion on affirmative action generally, but it strikes me that it will be difficult if not impossible for the two camps to find middle ground on the issue - because ensuring equality of treatment and equity of outcomes are probably mutually exclusive.
Said differently, I can see how you can either truly treat everyone the same, or try to make sure everyone has equality of opportunity/outcome, and to be sure both are individually a reasonable goal on paper.
The problem is, they can’t both be true. Either everyone has the same treatment, which doesn’t solve the problem of some people starting the race far behind the starting line; or the system tries to compensate for disadvantages, which inherently means that not all participants are afforded the same treatment.
“This is a very nice demonstration of quantum advantage. While a great achievement academically, the algorithm used does not really have real world practical applications though."
I don't envy French voters, who will be forced to choose between Macron's successor and Front National in the next election.
Because presently it seems like Macron, the police, and young French muslims are cooperating in a concerted attempt to enflame the situation and help get Front National elected. And all while Europe is defacto at war, facing an existential threat in Ukraine.
Lucky that Macron can't run again, but it'd be nice if he didn't run a key NATO member into the ground while blaming it all on video games.
