    There's no evidence they lowered the bar on skill level. This entire thread is a demonstration of "it's much easier to fool someone than to convince someone they've been fooled"

    This analogy fails to mention that the 90% free throw shooter is much more likely to have the chance get a free throw than the 60%, and that the 90% shooter might be hitting a 90% …

    Luck doesn't reduce skill, it alters opportunity.

    The memo didn't cause self doubt, the memo was intended to inspire others to look for doubt (hence the "lowering the bar"). The memo specifically targeted diversity hires as a lowe…

    This interview is literally a criticism that says very little about his style of writing. When they talk about "how" he approached this subject, it has to do with overall tone and …

    I'd argue that it's objectively aggressive. His twitter handle "@fired4truth" makes the intention to be so rather obvious (the content he's promoting on that handle is an entire ad…

    You still don't understand what point I was trying to make.

    My sole point in this entire thread is that white supremacy is bad regardless of source. I merely used an extreme example to show you that you were missing the forest for the trees…

    No, I'm making a point about white supremacy and you're being pedantic about something tangentially related. It doesn't fucking matter how similar socialism is to communism when wh…

    so you're saying that I should be responsible for the mental well being of an adult who thinks eradicating entire races of people will solve all of their problems

    So you agree with white supremacy because there are similarities between a specific group of communists and specific group of socialists. Fascinating.

    Don't pull that alt-right logic-gymnast bullshit where suddenly we're calling nazis "national socialists" and all socialism are the same. It's fine if you've convinced yourself tha…

    I'm going to go ahead and say it's ok to deny the concerns of white supremacists

    It's a series of tools and components required to fit certain related theories? In carpentry you have many standardized off-the-shelf tools and components (hammers, nails, windows,…

    Not sure what point you're trying to make — I live in Boston and the map seems generally accurate. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter — that's why we use averages. There'…

    As this guy's ongoing reaction verifies (His twitter handle is "@fired4truth"), a manifesto is a "here's why I'm right" rather than a "let's talk about this." This guy has no inten…

    I'd wait a few months and tell him to go pound sand. I don't care what his opinion is, he picked a shitty way to express it that's intentionally meant to undermine.

    California is an at-will state, so they could also just fire him for any or no reason. Someone spreading 10-page manifestos internally is generally toxic no matter which opinion th…
