Lila Maverick and Jaxon Wilder, Bacon’s Rebellion’s AI-generated avatars, are back with a new podcast based on my recent post, “DEI Training Makes Race Relations Worse.” For those not inclined to wade through my dense prose, they cover the same ground in an easy conversational manner.

It’s fascinating to hear the avatars depart from the article about two-thirds of the way through the podcast and head off on their own tangent: If “anti-racism” training is counter-productive, they ask, what should a DEI program look like? It should emphasize peoples’ common humanity, engage in respectful dialogue, and build bridges, they say. That message wasn’t in my post… but it should have been. — JAB
