@LukeAlmighty @Kerosene @picandor Because the organizations are designed to reject talent. They prioritize promotion based on social and ideological factors, while rejecting any concept of promotion based on merit. I don't know if you remember back during the Gate That Shall Not Be Named, the concept of "meritocracy" came under fire as sexist and racist, because white and asian men were the ones with all the merit.

Just like everything else, all the money's being funneled to fund stupid shit nobody needs (DEI programs, etc); talented people being cast aside in favor of tokens; and the few people in these institutions who otherwise could naturally achieve the level of excellence to create/maintain things of good quality are being thrown into an environment where nobody knows anything and the people who could teach them either don't teach them anything or aren't even there to do so in the first place.

On Monday, I wrote an essay about climate and biodiversity for Scientific American. I tracked proportional engagement, calculated as (likes + shares + comments)/followers, over six social media platforms.

The winner? MASTODON, by a landslide.

Second place? INSTAGRAM. It's harder to share posts on IG, but lot of people like things there!

The loser? FACEBOOK, also by a landslide. On Facebook, I've been shadow-banned since August 2018 when they listed clean energy and climate as "socially sensitive topics" so my page there stopped growing 6 years ago and now only about 1% of my followers there ever see my posts. It's actually too bad, because that's the platform where I reach the most conservative audiences through their connections to friends and family. So even though it's dead last, I still persist.

This cannot continue. Our society is so fucked up, we let 95 percent of money disappear during a construction project.
