I’ve listened to your perspective and found common ground where possible. I do not assume anything unreasonable I don’t think. I don’t know how I would have responded on the inside of Damore’s HR case. I don’t think google relished firing him.

I agree. The hyper reactionary SJWs at Google forced Google’s hand. This is what I’m concerned with, and the seemingly endless supply of people who agree people who make arguments like me are nazis. http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exaggerated-differences/ …pic.twitter.com/GCZdgh2qlz

You are poisoning the well by already calling their reaction hyper, and implicating that they forced Google. Is it possible that their response was rationally justified?

How is it rationally justified to call Damore a nazi, and his arguments fascist? Of course they forced google, people were threatening Damore physically, and threatening to quit.

I don’t even know where to begin arguing with someone who doesn’t recognize those messages were hysterically overboard. It seems like insanity.

The problem isn't with these particular people. Not everyone reacts well. But you can't paint all of the reactions with such a broad brush. I don't think these responses represent the general outcry against Damore.

@JamesADamore was just at PSU with@peterboghossian@HeatherEHeying and@HPluckrose. They invited all gender studies profs, who didn’t show. Protesters stood up, cried nazi. And one pushed over their sound equipment. For making the same arguments we are.https://youtu.be/kh2equGCBhw1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Oh come on. Some people didn't like it and so left and one was a dick and knocked some equipment over? This is not a massive conspiracy to silence people. That speech seemed to continue fine, right?

No, most people don't want to silence those who say gender differences exist. This is obvious to people not ideologically-motivated to deny it. The threats which ranged from grenades to bricks to shitty diapers came from a small number of zealots. Tho the ideas have power.

Glad to hear that it is also your experience that the vast majority of people are not reacting violently to these factual claims.

Demonstrably true. @Goddoesnt & I wrote about it: https://areomagazine.com/2017/08/22/a-manifesto-against-the-enemies-of-modernity/ … The far-right authoritarian anti-modernists & the far-left authoritarian anti-modernists are few. More worrying is reasonable ppl excusing or minimising the loons on own side & maximising those on other

Agreed. So you’re in favor of standing down with this campus crazy PoMo is eating the children rhetoric as we try to step down the Nazis everywhere rhetoric?

Yes. Make it clear that they are fringe and encourage people not to apologise for either of them or internalise their ideas in their attempts to fight the other side. Few people are Nazis but xenophobia is increasing. Few are PoMo loons but identity politics is increasing.
