America’s Chernobyl is Inevitable Now: How DEI Will Kill (More) People

In this alarming episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins expose the deeply troubling hiring practices within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that prioritize diversity over competence and safety. They dive into the details of a discriminatory biographical questionnaire used by the FAA that screened out qualified candidates based on arbitrary and offensive criteria. Malcolm warns of an impending "Chernobyl moment" in the United States, drawing parallels to past catastrophic failures in centrally planned bureaucracies. The couple also discusses the broader implications of these practices, including the potential for devastating accidents, the erosion of public trust, and the long-term damage to the very groups these policies claim to help. Brace yourself for a thought-provoking and unsettling look at the dangers of unchecked "diversity" initiatives in critical industries.

Malcolm Collins: . [00:00:00]

So basically on this test that 90% of people were failing, the black applicants were being given all of the answers to the questions before black and female before.

But it gets even worse than that because we need to go into what these questions were.

You are explicitly sorting for people who like to take big risks, have no scientific background, and do not take a criticism well from superior.

You are basically guaranteeing crashes coming out of this. 10 percent of people did get through these 10 percent of people fit the profile that the test was sorting for. And keep in mind, this profile wasn't specifically Black people, it was white, progressive, mostly negative stereotypes of black people, angry all the time, can't take directions, bad at science, and a lot of black people who had applied for these jobs were filtered out of getting these jobs

would you like to know more?

Simone Collins: [00:01:00] Hello everyone. I am very excited to be opening us for a new base camp episode, especially because Malcolm the other day implied to me that he just didn't want to fly anymore. And I was like, what do you mean you don't want to take this trip? It was for something business related.

And. I think he just genuinely doesn't feel safe on airplanes anymore. And after we discuss what we're about to discuss, perhaps you too will fall into this category. Although I find it quite silly because really it's getting in the car with an Uber driver who knows how little sleep they have, who knows how little training they have to talk, like talk about standards.

Anyway I think it's overblown Malcolm, I think you'll be okay, but things have been getting worse and worse with setting standards and making sure that the people who are running things in the airline industry, the aviation industry, be they pilots, be they airline CEOs, or be they [00:02:00] working in air traffic control are qualified.

So I

Malcolm Collins: actually, I want to take this in a much broader direction than this. Okay. So airlines is one aspect of this.

Simone Collins: Okay. You see it as a microcosm,

Malcolm Collins: It's just one example of the way systems are beginning to break. So in our governance book, and we're going to go deep into a number of the places we're beginning to see major systems fall apart.

We talk about why things like communism fell apart and the core reason communism fell apart is governance structures develop inefficiencies and internal sort of cancers. The larger they get and the longer they last. And so if they're competing against like you don't have that big a problem within a capitalist system because you have a bunch of internal governing systems that are competing against each other.

And as they get large and bloated like for example, the average length of time for a company to be on the fortune 500 list, I think it's only 20 years

Simone Collins: or 30 years. Yeah. Basically as soon as these private enterprises. [00:03:00] Become non competitive in a market based system. They die because no one wants to use them anymore.

That doesn't happen as much with government.

Malcolm Collins: And so we well, and then when you extend the government, like government systems to, to individual operating parts of a country. You can much more quickly get catastrophic failures due to failures within a bureaucracy. And that's why I say that America is about to have its Chernobyl moment.

This is what happened with Chernobyl fundamentally. And this happened, not Chernobyl's the incident we know of, but there's actually many other incidents of communist market failures that basically led to deaths of millions of people. Obviously the. Five year plan in China, or no, what was it? The great leap forward in China?

Then you had that wheat incident in the Soviet Union. That was like a failure of Soviet science. Oh, no. Where a guy was trying to I can attach a video on the subject. It's very interesting and millions of people died.

It was called the Lynn Cinco affair. [00:04:00] And Vsauce has a very good video on the subject titled the man who killed millions, trying to grow food in snow.

Malcolm Collins: But then obviously we know about Chernobyl where somebody who didn't understand how nuclear power plants worked was in charge of managing safety at a nuclear power plant.

. And so you re. When you have a system that no longer is elevating individuals based on their efficacy you have the capability of major systems beginning to break. And I think, like you at the beginning of this episode, like laughing about it, ha, it's so funny, we're not gonna have something like that in the United States.

Malcolm Collins: And the reason why I'm putting out this episode and the reason why I'm going to be titling it what I'm titling it is I suspect within five to ten years there's going to be a major incident in the US which will make your laugh really morbid in, in, in reflection.

Simone Collins: We are going to hear him with a false sense of security.

You're warning me. I'm

Malcolm Collins: telling you that right now like it, if people are going to die, [00:05:00] it actually already happened in Norway, for example. So

Simone Collins: yeah, break this down. This was hilarious.

Malcolm Collins: So in Norway a multimillion dollar warship under the NATO command was entirely submerged after it struck an oil tanker.

Simone Collins: This, by the way, blew out Norway's entire. Naval budget for the year. That was like, just the cost of this damage is immense. This was thought to be an unsinkable ship because of the way it was

Malcolm Collins: built. Yeah, but yeah, it was called an unsinkable ship. And here's a quote from an article on it. Questions remain as to why the well equipped warship could not avoid hitting the slow moving 62, 000 ton, 250 meter long oil tanker.

Simone Collins: Not exactly, because people going through recordings of what was happening on the bridge at that time. a site in multiple instances of gross negligence and incompetence. Oh, yeah.

Malcolm Collins: So here's another quote. Sound recordings and radar logs have revealed crude, almost incomprehensible human errors made by the crew.

According [00:06:00] to experienced naval officers, the mistakes make the crew look like amateurs.

Simone Collins: And Which is Embarrassing, especially for me and my kind being a femmle because apparently a laudable and celebrated element of this unsinkable ship was that five

Malcolm Collins: four out of five of the crew members were women.

And they had recently don
