How would a geek with 0 real life experience outside Google know that? It is not what they told him about "internal discussions".

- CydeWeys 6y agoBumbling geeks with zero real life experience can be a huge liability to large corporations generally, and often don't make for good employees solely for that reason. He's an adult. He bears responsibility for his actions. Ignorance is not enough of an excuse to save him. But even that's not valid here because he repeatedly defended the same views in the media long after someone who was merely bumbling would have realized the error of their ways. He doubled down on it. What started out as bumbling, didn't end that way.
- bradleyjg 6y agoThe people that want everything made explicit and all lies banished from human relations lost, have always lost, and will always lose. I recognize that for some this imposes significant hardship but changing everyone else’s human nature is not a reasonable accommodation. The kindest thing those of us that know young people of this type can do is pull them aside and explain how the world works. It is unkind to feed their delusions by vigorously agreeing with them online and then turning around and continuing to act pragmatically in our own lives.
- cousin_it 6y agoStrongly disagree. I think it would be both feasible and good to change culture to be more tolerant of "tone-deaf" speech.
