So... Peertube anyone?

I understand your concern but trust me, if this situation happens ever, it happens incredibly rarely, especially with Walmart and Microsoft considering the thousands of applications they receive. At some point, you have a whole lot of highly qualified individuals, some from diverse backgrounds. The better choice for the company is to pick with diversity in mind through the top. It's just how it is scientifically, it's what benefits the company the most.

That being said nepotism is shit, Idiocracy is shit, but meritocracy is also very much, shit.

Does this actually happen as much as you claim it does or are some people pissy that the establishment they applied to decided, between equally qualified candidates, to pick the one that would add to their diversity? Or are you implying (I don't even need to ask if you're from the US) that most minorities only ever get a job/scholarship not because of their own efforts, but because they're receiving handouts and of course could never actually be qualified for anything?

So in this scenario, what exactly is the equal outcome supposed to be exactly? Affording education? Being accepted into a job that you're qualified for in a diverse setting which is preferred scientifically considering workspaces and study groups benefit more from diversity of lived experience, background and origin?

Ah yes, the thing that already is heavily discouraged and doesn't happen (unless illegally, which is a whole other issue and has jack to do with your imaginary mob), and the thing that... The "woke mob" already believes in? Alrighty then.

Different world views like what?

Hmm... Then CEO of Twitter? Oh wait nvm you said it should not be detrimental...

On a more serious note though, uhhh I guess this person would do better in a job revolving something they genuinely have an interest in. The stubbornness to ignore information they don't find relevant will probably affect them negatively in the long run when it comes to dealing with criticism and learning from their mistakes but I guess they can keep trying things out until they find something that sticks. And for the love of fuck keep innocent workers out of their shenanigans 🙃

Well that depends, what causes this difficulty in reading and how far does it extend? Is it dyslexia? Do they have issues memorizing things? Are they completely beyond learning a fixed action?

You could maybe utilize a heavy bookend?
