Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis - Harold Robertson

Development of the rule of "competence," SAT tests being used to select the capable at colleges instead of the titled.

Civil rights act and related lawsuits ruled aptitude tests were racist due to unequal distribution of competency. "Putting diversity above competence."

Companies pushing competeny testing down to colleges to get out of lawsuits. "Turning colleges in to a war of all against all" for job access.

High-performing companies acquire enough "diversity hires" to fit requirements and then place them in containment roles where they can cause the least damage.
