Google's Damore Fired for Thinking on His Own
Sabine Hossenfelder, Nautilus
That leaked internal memo from James Damore at Google? The one that says one shouldn't expect employees in all professions to reflect the demographics of the whole population? Well, that was a pretty dumb thing to write. But not because it's wrong. Dumb is that Damore thought he could have a reasoned discussion about this. In the U.S.A., out of all places.The version of Damore's memo that first appeared on Gizmodo missed references and images. But meanwhile, the diversity memo has its own website, and it comes with links and graphics.
