James Damore is an engineer who was fired by Google for disagreeing with the corporation's official viewpoint on gender and diversity. Google accused Damore of "advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace", even though at least one university professor said that Damore's 10-page memo was scientifically accurate.
The professor pointed out:
- Neither the left nor the right gets diversity completely right
- The social science evidence on implicit and explicit bias has been wildly oversold and is far weaker than most people seem to realize
- Google has, perhaps unintentionally, created an authoritarian atmosphere that has stifled discussion of these issues by stigmatizing anyone who disagrees as a bigot and instituted authoritarian policies of reverse discrimination
- The policies and atmosphere systematically ignore biological, cognitive, educational, and social science research on the nature and sources of individual and group differences.[1]
