"maintaining a culture of trust and transparency is core to our company,” a #Netflix spokesperson told the Guardian, as explanation for why they fired a trans employee who allegedly leaked internal documents to the press. 🙃 https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/oct/20/netflix-employees-activism-walkout-dave-chappelle-controversy
if what i am told about the chappelle special is true (that it is edgy but not explicitly anti-trans) then i hope netflix fires those that walk out. i haven't seen the special though, so if it is indeed bigoted then fair play, but i have read that this is sjw overreaction to a famous person having edgy-but-unbigoted opinions on $UNTOUCHABLE_TOPIC. i am curious to actually see if chappelle is a dickhead, though, and will pirate the show sometime.

evolution didn't make giraffes tall. it made giraffes a bell curve, normal distribution of various heights.
then for thousands of years, millions and millions of the unlucky short ones starved to death, emaciated ribs poking out, before they could reproduce. gradually the center of the bell curve shifted right.
1600/day are dying of covid in the usa, while vaccines that almost entirely prevent death are widely available for free.
it's the same for intelligence. it takes a long time.
