#2Larry doesn't really send company-wide emails anymore, that's Sundar's job now.

#4What is this horseshit. Try reading it if you dare.
So Damore misrepresents things and this letter pretends to be Larry.
What the hell has this world come to where this counts as "news"

#5> Your memo was a great example of what’s called “motivated reasoning”
Guess he'll have to join the throngs of people fired for motivated reasoning to arrive at 'diversity is strength' and 'everyone is equal'.

I see you are interested in logical fallacies. You may also be interested in the one called "tu quoque."

#7Pretty good article. The economist can be counted on for insightful takes on current events. I recommend everyone add it to their daily reading list.
There is one problem with the article, though. It's not going to bring along any of the right-leaning people who are upset about anti-male discrimination and other such things. The article opens (smartly) by calling out “motivated reasoning”. But by the end, it references a list of lefty (from their perspective) links. Perhaps a better interpretation of Damore's own references would have been better.
Is it so unacceptable to admit that yes, men and women are different, but not mutually exclusive, and that women have plenty of the things the company wants?
Edited last sentence for clarification.

#8"Have you ever noticed how no one takes sentences that start “I’m not a racist, but…” at face value? Here’s why, in the words of Jon Snow in “Game of Thrones” (season 7, episode 1). When Sansa Stark tells him: “They respect you, they really do, but…,” Snow laughs and comes back with: “What did father used to say? Everything before the word ‘but’ is horseshit.”"
Lol, dem millennials with their games of throne, avocado toasts and snapchatting amiriteguise? Pls subscribe and disable the ad block, we'll keep referencing game of throne in every article. Pls, pls.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Those two statements are not obviously true in any sense other than "they sound good and only BAD people dispute them."

#10What a dumb pretense for an article. If you want to write something criticizing James' memo, just do that. Don't use Larry Page as a scenario for your message and headline.
