10 page anti-diversity screed circulating internally at Google
My interpretation is that the author is cheifly concerned with two points: that biology impacts performance, and that dissenting views in Google are at time met with hostility that is more political reflex than it is critical countenance.<p>The first point should be obviously true, however we live in a time were identity politics on the left tries to shout down any but the hard line reaction to biological determinism. Both extremes are false and saying so should not be controversial.<p>&quot;There are differences between the sexes.&quot; This is a statement about populations not individuals. It is also not a claim of causes only the current state of affairs.<p>Of all the coworkers I&#x27;ve had in tech, women make up a strong majority of the top 10. Yet of all the women I&#x27;ve known most weren&#x27;t driven to excel to the same level of most men I&#x27;ve known. Whether you blame culture or biology for that sexism play A role, not the ONLY role in creating the gender discrepancy we see in the fields of STEM and executive management.
