      But that's it: that manifesto was both a shallow and crude application of evolutionary theory AND so lacking in insight... Yet so confident.

      That's the crucial combination that is causing the tech world to be so uninsightful about itself and the potential harms of their products.

      Tech world is dominated by people who're smart in a tiny, narrow domain and who—sadly & wrongly—are VERY confident that's more than enough.

      It's 2017. How can an adult confidently argue that one gender has more empathy and collaboration AND is thus less suited to tech industry?😱😱

      Unfortunately, such not-so-smart views about society/gender IN COMBINATION with hard-to-believe lack of insight about tech are quite common.

      I know this is unpopular, but I disagree with firing that feels more like PR-driven scapegoating of one person for a widespread problem.

      Here's a thing I had written about this way back in 2012. This is a pervasive reason for why tech is where it is. https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2011/06/15/computer-sciences-sputnik-moment/change-the-cowboy-culture-in-computer-science …pic.twitter.com/AJY04BBlSi

      Also: I've got a very rich dataset ON JUST THIS. Been trying for a year to get meager funding for 2 postdocs. Nobody wants to fund research.

      Everyone wants to fund summer/code camps that they can put their name on. What we *need* is more research: to understand better. No funding.

      Not "fundamentally" but strong cultural & social factors–see change over time & countries. Biology? Over-emphasized. https://twitter.com/DanielHofheinz/status/895659413645742082 …

      Maybe some differences for few narrow skills that *IF* IF IF there was total equal opportunity would mean slightly different distributions?

          But 1-Those seem a few, narrow things. 2-There's no pure biology; 3-Small vector compared to what we know about culture and discrimination+

          (Again see change over time and cultures/countries–if biology were that huge a deal, you wouldn't see this kind of rapid change in domain).+
