"Damore's only real policy suggestion was to (gasp) treat everyone as individuals"
Unforunately it takes years for a person to really known another person as an individual. And even then the preferences inherent in the first person will bias what they do with the knowledge they have of the other individual. Thus this isn't a solution.
- Danihan 9y agoI believe that treating everyone as individuals, rather than as tribal groups, is the only way forward. You don't have to get to know someone at a deep level to make a hiring decision. What ever happened to the notion of being color-blind when it comes to policy enforcement? AKA, actually treating people equally, based on merit? What exactly is wrong with "blind-hiring," rather than "diversity-conscious" hiring? It worked to remove the gender gap in orchestras. Why wouldn't it be good to use in tech? http://gap.hks.harvard.edu/orchestrating-impartiality-impact-%E2%80%9Cblind%E2%80%9D-auditions-female-musicians http://gap.hks.harvard.edu/orchestrating-impartiality-impact...
- anonymouskimmer 9y agoIt's a great idea, but more difficult to do for most jobs than for an orchestra.
