In this episode of New Ideal Live, Onkar Ghate and Nikos Sotirakopoulos discuss why and how DEI has become so dominant in American institutions, from universities to corporate businesses, despite its questionable nature.

Among the topics covered:

How DEI is sold as a form of justice for historically marginalized groups;
How “diversity” relies on a package deal;
How “inclusion” results in moral relativism;
How “equity” means equality of results irrespective of merit;
Why business leaders are unable to resist DEI despite its impracticality.
