The strong pull towards monoculture for people seems to almost always be accompanied by the unshakeable belief that *their* monoculture is the superior one. This is how white people are reframing "separate but equal", with buckets full of pseudoscience claiming that diversity causes problems and division and blah blah blah. It's self-soothing pap that allows people to build a comfortable bubble around their inherent belief in their own superiority.
Working in tech I hear people say shit like this all the time, because for some reason being kinda smart with computers seems to breed people who think of the entire world in purely theoretical terms and can easily compartmentalize and ignore real-world harm caused by their theorizing.

We're so fucking lost as a species.
