Didn't know skin pigment contributed to innovation.

"Diversity" is empty HR speak, please specify which kind of diversity fosters innovation.

> please specify which kind of diversity fosters innovation

To keep an open mind I did a thought experiment and found a few: entertainment, fusion food, music, those things I'd imagine benefit greatly from diversity.

You told me human endeavors in which "diversity" (which again, means nothing) fosters innovation. But that wasn't my question. I asked what kind of diversity fosters innovation, not what kind of innovation is fostered by diversity

In some grim scenarios, diversity led to certain situations that gave rise to big innovations.

I have the strong suspicion this is a GPT-3 bot response :/

GPT?? That is the shallowest of a dismissal I've seen on HN.

I'm talking about the diversity of WW2 era Germany bringing, through great atrocity, a means for the world to not starve via nitrogen sequestration derived by the tragedies of the holocaust and the Haber Method.

It is not the prettiest example, but it fits what you've asked for.

- There was diversity

- As a result, there was innovation.

This disregards a LOT of bad things that came from this, and it doesn't validate or excuse those bad things, however it fits the stipulations of what you outlined: a time where diversity created innovation.

I already told you this is not what I asked. Your replies are all over the place and I sincerely am not understanding them.

[EDIT] wow, you edited your whole long form reply and just replaced it with "I'm not a bot"? That's such a misleading and dishonest thing to do for everyone reading these posts from now onwards

The commonly held definition of 'diversity' needs more diversity - to mean more than skin color quotas.

Maybe they should do something geographical. Let's say hire a person per country and then start again. You know building actually distributed and diverse teams.

Diversity of world view and human experience foster innovation.

If you hire all of the same socioeconomic strata even if they are different races chances are you will not get a wide depth of experience and world view

True, but still better than the alternative.

Often it seems tech companies (and certainly many others) almost explicitly hire people with similar viewpoints--not merely accidentally arriving at homogeneity by way of socioeconomic strata, but by strongly broadcasting ideological statements.
