>Someone told me "diversity is good" without telling me why and I didn't want to bother thinking of the answer on my own because thinking is hard
What's it like being a blue pilled sheep? Believing anything someone tells you that sounds contrarian and dismissing everything mainstream.

>"overspecialize and you breed weakness"
My favorite quote from GITS. When the major is explaining why she wanted a weak, non-cyberized, family first, average IQ, average joe person on her team of high tech cyborg swat/hackers she says that line. Basically she's pointing out that we're all fallible. Everyone is capable of making mistakes. If we were ALL the same, then when one person made a mistake, we'd all made the same identical mistake. While you may think a simple small mistake isn't consequential, a large mistake made by 100% of the population is an extinction level event. Just look at the modern day banana (which is about to go extinct) and it's preprocessor the Gros Michel banana. (which doesn't exist anymore) This problem isn't limited to DNA diversity. It extends to cultural diversity as well.
