The left is pro science as long as you don't discuss biology, evolution and the differences between men and women or ethnic groups.

There are taboos on the left, but there's no right wing alternative to the science. I mean, if there was some viable insight into biology that required eschewing leftish ideology, why couldn't it be monetized with startups?

Startups do this all the time by hiring mostly asian and white men instead of trying to match population levels. We can't say for sure if that strategy helped or hurt them, but I haven't seen any investor trying to force startups to diversify their workforce.

I was talking about science/scientists, not HR policies. Like at a biotech startup. From the point of view of an investor, who is doing the science differently because of ideology, and why is it better?
