I am not really personifying it besides the introductory line:
I am explaining that the mechanism is that Google cares foremost about attracting and retaining a somewhat socially and ecologically responsible (one could say as well leftwards as a synonym) staff.
The fact that elite scientists and engineers are leaning to the left is a demographics fact, not some opinion from me. And it can even been explained by how the education system endows its pupils with a set of values, meant to make them better citizens i.e. more responsible, and finally that means more on the left.
- nabla9 6y agoMy argument was that "Google cares foremost" relevant to Facebook only as far as their business allows it, just like Facebook. There may be small percentage of something else but it's the main explanation. This was my main criticism. What is your response to that?
- henearkr 6y agoFB could have taken the same stance than Google about carbon-neutrality targets. It could have also pledged to not data-mine user DMs. It did not.
- nabla9 6y ago> It could have also pledged to not data-mine user DMs. To counter my argument you must 1) find an example, 2) estimate the economic burden of that estimate. It's my understanding that DM' is much more important part of FB business than it is to Google. My argument relies on weighing the economic impact.
