 Let's say tech executives (consciously or subconsciously) seek teams in which at least 1/3 of team members are like them (gender, age, race). How will this impact the types of jobs available?
 **Whitey mc whitey ville **

 Diversity "quotas" are sometimes dismissed as counter-productive or missing the point of actually valuing diversity. PotP does demonstrate how they may add some value. What are your attitudes toward diversity quotas; does this game change your assumptions?
 **recent effort made by (blanking on local tech company) to strive for parity has raised their dev team numbers to 34% women, simply because it was a stated goal

 having been to tech meetups where EVERYONE is a white dude, that creeps me out.  diversity please

 especially after my turing experience or my squads when coaching or the camps i've run.  These were always 1/4 to 1/3 women, so why not in the tech world?  And why not more? **

 Given the patterns illuminated by PotP, what other strategies may be effective in counteracting bias?
 **making your bigoted neighbour STFU and not allow them to express their backward views. **

 PotP speaks to the power of group norms: a seemingly innocuous attitude, wanting to be surrounded by at least 1/3 of people who look like you, when embraced by a large group, can have huge implications on that community. Considering this reality, what knowledge and understandings should Turing impart to students to ensure they do not enter the field perpetuating ideas that are in conflict with our mission.
 ** students that arrive here with rooted notions of what should be that run counter to the mission of turing will largely block out that mission and hold onto their notions when confronted by words, rather, expose them to situations where their ideas are utterly refuted and they have to face that.  Cause an internal conflict within them.  **


 PotP is a pretty sweet example of how technology can illustrate complex ideas. What are PotP's goals, and how effective do you think the game is in advancing those goals?
 **the exponential wave effect of those belligerents that expound their backwards views with no margin for compromise, by accomodating them the outflow damages the rest of the structure and leaves them little opportunity to be influenced by their own internal dialogue**
