Sure, but it's the hypocrisy of saying, "stereotyping people by group is productive sometimes (when hiring and trying to hit quotas)" but any criticism of it is unproductive, in fact, how dare you even discuss it at the workp

Do you have a Casino nearby? They usually have weekly poker tournaments. Go to one and tell me how many women are competing. Here's a typical picture: http://i.imgur.com/h6cDkDB.jpg There are zero hiring biases at a p

It's so funny (and sad) to me that you had to create a throwaway to outline these obvious strawmen misrepresentations of what Damore wrote. Whatever happened to reading comprehension..?

Yep, the vast majority of things in this article that the interviewees said they "disagree with" are things the author never said.

Corporations are already limited by normal laws and by market forces. I'm skeptical when people claim that isn't enough. Political influence reform is a whole separate issue and I think the problems are structural and go much dee

He's talking about Citizen United, which has nothing to do with hate. Corporate money is speech because you need money to buy advertising / billboards / etc. This holds true for small corporations and non-profits as well. I

It would be a psychiatrist, not a psychologist. And all insurance plans do cover mental health per the ACA... It is one of the ten benefits that must be covered on all plans under the law.

That a big maybe, it's completely unproven. Maybe hiring slightly less qualified people just because of their demographic group will cause all sorts of strange resentments across the board. That seems to be what our current hiring pr

I personally believe including "cultural fit" in hiring decisions is introducing massive amounts of bias, almost by definition. Aptitude can be figured out by something as simple as SAT or GMAT scores. If universities use those t

I believe that treating everyone as individuals, rather than as stereotypical groups, is the only way forward. It's the only truly fair approach. What ever happened to the notion of being color-blind when it comes to policy enforcemen

I don't understand that statement.. or why you would agree with it. The auther of the memo was attempting to present facts. Why wouldn't I completely agree with facts that are true? Especially in this case, when most cognitive

Greed. It's just pure greed. And many people do work for banks despite them doing incredibly shady shit (worse than just not answering the phone).

Yeah but you generally wouldn't test something like this on high-level diplomats, right? You'd test it where there would be no press if it worked.

This is intentional. It's intended to capture attention from people who will feel a need to argue that the headline misrepresents the content of the memo (which is does). Then CNN converts that emotionalism and clicks and comments into
