The new world needs diverse founders more than ever

No doubt a study could be performed that would show that employment candidates who had grown up in households with two parents present are more productive than those who had grown up in single-parent families.

Would it be a good idea to favor candidates from two-parent households? No! If a candidate, despite being from a single-parent family performs better than other candidates, he or she should be hired! He or she should be treated as an individual not as the member of some group.

Similarly, diversity should be viewed as something of secondary importance. The world does not need more women in tech or more men in nursing or more X in Y. Rather, each human being needs to be treated fairly, judged based on his or her own merits.
