Perfect game last night.
“Entitlement” is not only the opposite of achievement, it undermines incentives to do all the hard work that leads to achievement.--Sowell
Writing for the Bulletin of the Atomic Sciences, Louis Reitmann and Sneha Nair offer the strongest argument for preventing the “queering of nuclear weapons” by arguing in favor of such a policy:
"Exclusion creates nuclear security risks. Exclusion and unfair treatment of queer individuals and other minorities by a homogenous, cis-heteronormative community of practitioners also creates vulnerabilities in nuclear decision-making. Cis-heteronormativity is the automatic assumption that someone is heterosexual and identifies with the sex assigned to them at birth. It creates the idea that being heterosexual and cisgender is normal and natural, whereas being queer or trans is a deviation."
There is a narrative gaining traction that diversity is a tool truth uses to examine itself. A broader bell curve examines truth through a wider lens. Insight comes from the periphery. Our norms should be examined by the fringe. So truth should escape the confines of...what? Consensus? Success?

Are we to spend the rest of our lives re-centering?
