If everyone is white... Everyone is privileged.

This is from the said news, what do you think about this statement?

``` There is a science to putting together the right minds, with perspectives that challenge, augment, diverge and cross-pollinate rather than parrot, corroborate and restrict. This is set to become a key source of competitive advantage for organisations, not to mention security agencies. This is how wholes become more than the sum of their parts.```

I think it's a meme unworthy of discussing

2019-09-10 12:20:58 UTC  

Problem i think is that too often people who are prone to tell others how to handle their "diverse thoughts" are not too keen to employ the said process themselves.

2019-09-10 12:21:24 UTC  

This might apply here too.

2019-09-10 12:22:48 UTC  

That's a rather ambiguous quote you've shared with us, @Omsomething. The question of who is claiming to have superiority over "challenging, augmenting, diverging and cross-pollinating" is important.

2019-09-10 12:23:10 UTC  

I'm guessing that came from a leftist outlet? Did you pull it from that BBC article?

2019-09-10 12:23:11 UTC  

That quote is from the news i linked above.

2019-09-10 12:23:18 UTC  

Alright, I thought so.

2019-09-10 12:24:14 UTC  

I mean, who wouldn't want a tranny for an Intelligence Officer and Field Agent?

2019-09-10 12:24:40 UTC  

To me it seemed rather important one, since it was in a news article in BBC with the said tittle.

To me it seems like author might be understanding something in others while all the while missing something about themselves.

2019-09-10 12:25:54 UTC  

To be honest if i wanted to be safe from exteme furry terrorists i might want few of the agents monitoring them to be light furries.

2019-09-10 12:25:55 UTC  

The thing is about BBC is their articles on subjects of expertise are -never- written by people with expertise

2019-09-10 12:26:16 UTC  

I won't disagree with the fact there's an understanding individuals from a particular group would inherently possess, as it relates to the mindset of those they're part of. That's a given. You can gleam a great deal of insight from someone with experience, rather than one looking in from a glass door.

2019-09-10 12:27:58 UTC  

I wonder if intelligence agencies have some sort of 'containment task-forces' for people whose special understanding they need but who they just do not trust due to other reasons.

2019-09-10 12:29:34 UTC  

I suppose that would depend on the country of reference and agency.

2019-09-10 12:32:49 UTC  

In the U.S., investigations toward acquiring clearance can go on for as long as they require, even while you're already serving in whatever capacity required said clearance. 😉

2019-09-10 12:34:21 UTC  

You also go through renewals.

2019-09-10 12:34:54 UTC  

Hah, how cunning. Being an transgender/whatever agent might lead to really fun loops of paranoia now that i think about it.

2019-09-10 12:35:17 UTC  

That's the loophole, stretching out the timeframe for the clearance investigation.

2019-09-10 12:35:29 UTC  

Perhaps.

2019-09-10 12:37:39 UTC  

I'd expect this to be the case for any other agency, but they'll all vary in what they're looking for.

2019-09-10 12:39:56 UTC  

I hear the SIS is sifting for Haram already. 😂

ugh, Timmermans, cant stand the man

2019-09-10 13:55:32 UTC  

So parliament closed early :D

2019-09-10 14:00:54 UTC  

Yep

2019-09-10 14:01:07 UTC  

Im hoping boris just ignores the remainers

2019-09-10 14:01:32 UTC  

I also think its morally correct for us to purge the remainers due to their traitor acts

2019-09-10 14:01:53 UTC  

If they dont want to be british we can chuck em out

2019-09-10 14:02:44 UTC  

If they dont want to lea e then theres a moee permenant option

2019-09-10 14:03:13 UTC  

*Bang bang* 🔫

2019-09-10 14:25:03 UTC  

ain't goingt o happen, Kamaitachi

2019-09-10 14:25:39 UTC  

boris will be deposed by a vote of confidence between 14th October and 31st October. Article 50 will be revoked

2019-09-10 14:25:51 UTC  

"And in that election we will commit to a public vote with a credible option to leave and the option to remain."

2019-09-10 14:25:59 UTC  

I.e, no option to leave

2019-09-10 14:26:05 UTC  

Yup

2019-09-10 14:26:18 UTC  

You're all going to have to sit tight for some time

2019-09-10 14:26:32 UTC  

Na we'll be okay

2019-09-10 14:26:40 UTC  

We'll just middle through as always
