> So the issues with the memo are lie largely in the subtext and motivations, it seems. It is very interesting that so much of the response focuses on outrage, mischaracterizations of the memo, and (seemingly accurate) ad hominem attacks on the author. This appears to support the central point of the manifesto: that we are not able to have a mature discussion about this. While we may disagree with what James said the response makes this point undeniable. It seems that Google isn't the only place stuck in an ideological echo chamber.
