The reality is Damore did an excellent job of articulating his beliefs. He wrote carefully, politely, cited his sources, used precise language, repeatedly clarified that he actually agreed with Google's goals but not their methods, and correctly anticipated how people might try to mischaracterise what he wrote. I've seen much much worse essays than that one. The whole idea he lacks "emotional intelligence" is just a sop to people who went on the attack because he's an ideological enemy. His intelligence is just fine, he simply is less tolerant of unintellectual nonsense masquerading as morality than most people are. And why should he not be? Damore challenged Google to rational debate and too many Googler's completely failed. The lack of intelligence isn't on Damores side.
