Google Employee's Anti-Diversity Manifesto Goes 'Internally Viral'

The concept of "ideological diversity" is definitely a clever tactic for changing the subject away from gender and racial diversity. But that's all it is -- or are you really clamoring to hire people who think the world is flat, who believe monarchy is the only acceptable form of government, or who indent using precisely 17 spaces?

> all the evidence points to the former.

There is an interesting documentary called "The Norway Paradox"[1] that explores why do we see a much higher rate of gender segregation in developed countries. The thesis the documentary advances is that there are indeed innate differences between the sexes, and with higher freedom that can be found in advanced societies, the people are freer to choose a job that fits their innate tendencies rather than be forced into something else by economic or social circumstances.

Judging by the reaction "diversity" also seem to boil down "fill the place up with people who think like me, the person calling for diversity".

Also, extrapolating anything from a text we cannot see rapidly brings us in strawman arguments territory.

Everything anyone will say publicly with their name about this, is lies.

He did not shit on leftist values. That can't even be a misunderstanding, that was just a lie (plain and simple). He simply pointed out that society uses a mix of leftist and rightist values, and neither side is 100% right.

Google has people openly say that "if you are republican then you should be fired" (and much much worse).

Nobody will criticize these lies, because this is a witch hunt, and one where this guy must be publicly shamed and destroyed, and anyone who speaks up against it must also be destroyed.

I hope many Googlers take notes and screenshots, because this is a clear discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen. I know some Google employees who are adding to their lists of future discrimination lawsuits. Harassment for political opinions.

This is what happens if you express an opinion against the dogma that is "There is ZERO difference between genders, it's ALL societal, NOTHING innate".

The guy started with a whole section about how you cannot use averages to judge individuals (he even had graphs showing exactly how you cannot), but that a 50/50 equal men/women engineering pool is not a realistic goal nor helpful because there are innate differences between men and women.

He then sprinkled it with some cherry-picked and possibly incorrect research, but is the basic premise wrong? No.

> The worst thing here

The worst thing?

Suppose there is a referendum in, I don't know, Venezuela or something; that's adequately hypothetical. Imagine they put a referendum banning gay marriage on the ballots in Venezuela, and it passes with similar levels of turnout and support. There's a guy in your office from Venezuela who's reading about it, a little bit troubled by the news, and you say, "wow, I guess 60% of Venezuelans are literally horrible terrible people."

Do you think that he is going to be most upset with the precision and accuracy present in the percentage you used, and not, say, the idea that you just casually pass judgement on what might easily be 60% of his family, extended family, friends, former co-workers, schoolmates, acquaintances, and the like? Not with the way you dismiss entirely their value as moral actors, without any further attempts to seek understanding of them as human beings, pre-emptively closing the door on learning about their culture and their values, not even pretending that you've an interest in understanding their lives as flawed, imperfect human beings, implicitly disclaiming all need to sympathize with their troubles? Not with the way that you, hailing from a background of substantial privilege in the San Francisco Bay Area, college-educated, and now happily earning six figures in a software job, feel that it's right and just to look down on these people, some of whom are fighting to live somewhere better than a shack in the woods?
