Toxic, discriminatory people are also poor thinkers. Every one of the ideas that R1 faculty members mocked and belittled in grad school have come back to be things that I've used to help real working teams in my career now.

one problem is that time spent running drills is time not spent shipping features for ”impact“

a startup doesn’t have the deployment cycle of a warship, with time built in for training

although the equivalent of “every shipboard sailor a firefighter” / “every marine a rifleman” is good to ponder

I really dislike this question of whether trans people are "really" women/men. It's the framing the anti-trans activists prefer, and as far as I'm concerned it's also completely irrelevant.
