"Diversity is a good thing. But the most important kind of diversity is viewpoint diversity. You have to have people who actually think differently. Just to have people of a different race or sex doesn’t help your thinking, unless they think differently. And we’ve been so focused on those demographic diversity kind of things, that it’s actually made the viewpoint diversity issue even harder because when everyone’s focused on race and gender diversity, they’re almost all on the left and they see conservatives as the enemy – as they’re racists or sexists – we don’t want them here. And this is what’s happened in psychology as in the other social sciences."
