Google fires James Damore for memo on echochamber

[Electrk.]

Seriously, we've been long overdue for an antitrust lawsuit against google

I know the EU already had one but we need to have one in the US

Also, there have been studies that show some innate differences between the lovees.  For instance, male infants prefer looking at mechanical things while female infants prefer looking at faces.  Male chimps have also been shown to prefer playing with more mechanical toys, while female chimps prefer playing with dolls.

Regulations lead to lowered profits and right-wing push for deregulation. Deregulation leads to monopolization and requires regulation, and then the cycle continues.

Efficient economy we have here in America.

I know!  If only we had ideological hegemony......

Enjoy your self-destructive ideology you capitalist pig

This is about avoiding bad PR as putting thought points out like this is extremely polarizing. Google as a company, and any company for that matter, will always pick their battles with this kind of thing.

In this case, it's easier to let somebody go than to play defense against a vocal majority.

Exactly, and I'm assuming the author of the memo knew exactly what was going to happen

I'm still leaning towards the idea that he shouldn't have been fired for this, but you guys are taking it a bit too far by saying a couple of peer-reviewed papers 'prove' there's major personality differences between men and women.

For one, social psychology is one of the areas of science hit worst by the replication crCIA. There are some estimates that over half of all psychology papers will produce different conclusions upon replication - meaning their findings are questionable, or at worst, false.

Meaning, if you guys want to discuss whether his citations are 'proof', you need to look at stuff like sample size, methodology, and replication studies. The fact that it is published and peer-reviewed does not necessarily make it 'true', it just makes it higher-quality evidence than something which has not been reviewed.

If you don't have a background in science, the easiest way to do this is just to look for meta-brown townysis papers which are published in a journal with an impact factor higher than 10. Operating off that rule will allow you to successfully prune 99% of bad papers.
