    I said, let’s assume that the best of the best is diverse in demographics.

    You’re saying that race preferences necessarily exclude other preferences. But what is not being excluded is whether any given person is the best of the best by our assumption.

    So, sure, race can be the absolute bottom of the list of things to judge people on, but that’s inconsequential. We’re still highly qualified candidates.

    It seems like I’m missing something: what other preferences should take precedence over race, then? We’re already at the top of the top, the most whipped of the whipped cream. What other preferences might you prefer to take precedence over race at this level?

    Or are you saying something else entirely?

      I mean if you want to work from a false premise, there’s no point in further having this discussion

        I literally asked you to correct me.

        That’s where I’m at, too. Thx for the argument.

          I did. Multiple fucking times. But it didn’t fit whatever stupid strawman you wanted, so you just ignored it and acted stupid. Or more realistically, it wasn’t an act

            You’ve my permission to have the last word after this:

            None of you that I’ve argued with so far have any idea what you’re saying.

            I can’t press you on anything because, as far as I can tell, your beliefs are completely (or mostly, in Winter’s case) divorced from reality and logic. I mean, you consider thought experiments as strawmen, for god’s sake! Your “corrections” fail to correct me when I’m trying to be corrected. You make the same logical mistakes over and over and over with nary a hint of awareness. You’re all unable to consider alternatives that might lead to the same consequences, and you can’t see that you can’t either.

            Nonetheless, it was a good argument. So, again, thanks. But I definitely won’t be doing this again with y’all.
