You keep dodging. His point was that you misquoted Bloom to create a perception that he disagrees with Damore.
Also this is more interesting since its an insider opinion by an educated man. You are trying to dismiss Damore outright without counterargument. That's not productive.
- aaron-lebo 9y agoHe doesn't disagree with him, but "not so sure" isn't a ringing endorsement of anything. It suggests that Bloom is unsure, so if Bloom is unsure about the value of empathy, how strongly can it support Damore? We don't know because Damore doesn't explain it, just links to it as evidence. Again, that's not how you do research. Not looking to keep this discussion going, take care.
- oj-lappi 9y agoThe "not sure" part is about the role of empathy concerns intimate relationships, not formal ones. You cited an separate but sinilar part of the argument from the wrong side. When it comes to policy, it is generally accepted that empirical/statistical evidence is a better tool for building an organisation than empathy.
