It’s been through the system and deemed rightful termination. As an insider in this industry, I can personally testify to cases that are way worse but we cannot do anything due to state laws.pic.twitter.com/mnp9Sd2PQI

3. Wrongful termination is a different issue and subject to laws and precedent. Companies write employee codes of conduct expressly to defend their business model and hire/fire in their best biz interest. Very dangerous to take that away.
Different issue. I am interested in culture and how it makes certain values & beliefs within business' best interests to mandate. eg when my mother wrote memos saying women should be able to take accountancy exams, this was very much against the bank's code of conduct & values.
I am less interested in the legal right of businesses to enforce certain views, whether its that women should stay in the secretarial pool or men & women are psychologically identical, than in the cultural norms which make this a dominant view, dissent from which must be punished
2. Is the source of difference between two large populations important to the issue? You are discussing data. The data are the data.
I am discussing the source of difference.
That's what I get for wading into the middle... apologies. Fwiw, I suspect that untangling the nature vs nurture would get very granular. Data suggest both effects at gross level. The degree of influence of one or a subset of one (e.g. family vs society) highly variable?
No apologies. Please feel free to wade! I enjoy your wading! Yes, I absolutely agree. Steven Pinker addresses this in the introduction of Blank Slate.
Claire here is a question in regards to the scientific consensus point you made. Recall that James was responding to google’s solicitation of opinion. Why didn’t we see anyone get fired for not having an opinion refering social causes that was sufficiently backed by consensus?/1
Yes, exactly. Not to mention the routine expression of opinions (as demonstrated by the materials in Damore's lawsuit) that were overtly derogatory to males (esp white males). I'm definitely not a fan of everything Damore has done since, but IMO his firing was absurd.
Bit afraid to wade in but... 1. The statistics of large populations vs small subsets with inherent selection bias (ie, women in tech would not be average, nor would Google seek average employees) ...i don't think you productive debate without discussing.
