The great achievement of the meritocracy is that it has widened
opportunities to those who were formerly oppressed. But diversity is a
midpoint, not an endpoint. Just as a mind has to be opened so that it
can close on something, an organization has to be diverse so that
different perspectives can serve some end. Diversity for its own sake,
without a common telos, is infinitely centrifugal, and leads to social
fragmentation.
