matt321··on The case for expanding rather than eliminating gifted education programs (2021)
If certain groups of students are excluded because of their ethnicity, that is wrong and should be condemned. If certain groups are excluded because they did not have a lifestyle that nurtured their talent and therefore do not meet the requirements to join, their lifestyle needs to be structed differently so that then next time around they do meet the requirements. In the meantime, holding Asian students back is not going to solve the problem of other student having parents who don't recognize the importance of their education.

matt321··on On Student Loans, Joe Biden Is in Thrall to the Most Radical Voices in America
Forgive student loans has to come with fully free education, since the people who give student loans will start to be more selective on who they give loans to, or stop all together and then nobody gets loans. I don't think either of these things will happen. We can solve the problem and only this generation will have to deal with it but stopping people from getting loans for stupid degrees that don't pay.

People are encouraged by society to discriminate against men.
matt321··on Hiring discrimination: a problem for men in female-dominated occupations
Discrimination in hiring is always harmful, what matters is if its acceptable. If you don't hire a high school drop out to be a physicist, he is objectively worse off (harmed). Even if you assume that men are better off than women (I don't) discrimination is harmful (they are worse off), but they wind up still better off than the woman so its acceptable.
