- Is Google open to a diverse array of viewpoints? Or is it an ideological echo chamber? Just ask former Google software engineer James Damore. He was fired for disagreeing with Google's (left-wing) orthodoxy. In this video, James shares his story.

Script:
I used to be a senior software engineer at Google. Until they fired me.
For doing something unforgivable...
Something so controversial that it was the number one news story for days.
My crime: I wrote an internal document that, among other things, suggested that men and women, on average, are different.
Like I told you: Unforgivable.
The politically progressive viewpoint, which is dominant at Google and in the media, is that all disparities in society are due to injustices. Or, in this case, that the gender gap in tech is solely due to some form of sexism.
But is this true?
The politically correct answer is: yes. And Google acts accordingly. It treats men and women differently during hiring and promotion, holds official women-only events, and gives mandatory sensitivity training on how to combat alleged sexist bias.
Of course, all of this makes sense if sexism is indeed the sole cause of the imbalance.
But what if men and women are not exactly the same?
Then, sexism is just one of many possible causes of the imbalance, and exclusionary programs and differential treatment can be a counterproductive form of sexism. These practices actually increase tensions and make some feel like Google cares more about their gender than their programming ability.
As an engineer, when I’m faced with a problem, I want to solve it. So, I decided to research the premise: that men and women are exactly the same.
I wrote my findings in a 10-page document titled, “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber.” You can read it online.
What did I discover? That not all of the male-female disparity in tech may be the result of sexism.That at least some of it may be attributed to men and women having different goals for their careers and their lives.
To cite just two examples:
In the study, ”Women, Careers, and Work-Life Preferences,” published in the British Journal of Guidance and Counselling, the study’s authors conclude that women across populations tend to look for more work-life balance, while men tend to have a higher drive for status.
And according to a study by Cal State Fullerton psychologist Richard Lippa, men, on average, tend to be more interested in things, while women tend to be more interested in people.
These findings have been replicated many times. They’ve actually been cited by other researchers as a cause for the gender gap in tech.
In other words, I didn’t make this stuff up.
In fact, after my document came under attack, evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller said its “empirical claims are scientifically accurate.”
But Google disagreed. Like…really disagreed.
First, the company’s newly appointed VP of Diversity, Integrity, and Governance, Danielle Brown, posted a memo that said my report “advanced incorrect assumptions about gender.”
Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, sent a memo to all employees saying that I “cross[ed] the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes.” This was, he added, “not O.K.”
Then, he fired me.

When media shuts you up, you know you're doing the right thing.
Let me know when Google takes this video down.
Google isn't shutting anyone up. You have a right to free speech. You don't have a right to make money off of said speech.
PragerU's videos are still being shown. Being demonetized doesn't mean people can't see them. PragerU just can't make money off of it.
Look at Trump.
It's called RESTRICTED MODE and it's leftist censorship no matter how you spin it. The Young Turds spew hate and filth all day long without a peep from RUclips. BTW to all the left wing racists out there, it's OK to be White. just sayin
Jeffrey Grimm: Actually, TYT has had videos put on restricted and demonetized. So has Kyle Kulinski from Secular Talk, and many other leftist youtubers. All google has to do to disprove PragerU's claims is show that they've also demonetized videos from leftists(which I know HAS happened because I also watch leftist youtube channels), and PragerU doesn't have a leg to stand on
Anyways, what does restricted mode mean exactly? Doesn't it mean it prevents users who are under 18 from watching it? I don't see why that's preventing free speech. If you consider that preventing free speech then parental controls also prevent free speech under your logic.
And if you think parental controls prevent free speech, I won't argue against that, but now my point becomes this: These things are done by individuals. Individuals and private companies don't have to respect free speech laws anyways(only the government does), unless there is a specific free speech law that applies to companies, which I don't know of one that exists. If one does exist, then PragerU would have a point here, but I don't think it does.
“When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”
Daddy Sourcream - it a quote from game of thrones, Tyrion Lannister
+Hamakua but before that, it came from someone.
+Hamakua neutrality helps the oppressor,never the oppressed. Silence helps the tormentor, never the tormented. Eli's Wiesal. Etc. Lincoln, JFK, real people have said issues on the matter of protest and political silence. So it wasn't Lannister, but the author who wrote him. Martin.
@Chris Benson
Perhaps it is a case where GRRM is the actual author of the quote, if you can source who said this or similar, please share with the rest of the class. :)
In any case no matter who said it first, it is a valid observation.

"Don't be evil" is a horrible motto. Because the outcome depends on what they find as "Evil". It's a statement that has no value or guidance.
I can see the demonitization coming
PragerU is a NGO, it isn't and was never monetized on RUclips, it relies on donations.
The videos on the other hand will be banned and blocked to some users as someone might have their feelings hurt by either the comments or content of the video.
They will shadow ban the video then
It was probably demonetised before it was even posted
I can see the DEMONIZATION coming....
*gasp* Men and women are different on average!?!?!?!?
Oh my god!!!!! How sexist!!!!
thebahooplamaster Thank God they are. We've known that since Adam and Eve. Why is Google so far behind?

I study computer science in the netherlands. I am a male. We got an email from Google that they are looking for female interns.
Why the hell do they send me an email to apply as an intern if I am a male and saying they are looking for women to work.
This is sexism, not the fact that men earn more than women.
Ismail Seven tell them you identify as female and apply for the internship
great idea. this could work in fact :D
Nicholas Tan that will definitely work with Google
Ismail Seven tell them you identify as female
Go to the interview, and specify that you identify as female. But make sure you blend in, color your hair, and act as feminine as possible. You'll instantly be hired. Don't worry, since Goolag doesn't care about their workers after they're hired for virtue signalling, they'll probably ignore you for the rest of your time there.
Google got rid of the "don't be evil" motto a while back.
Apparently they found it needlessly restrictive.
Ouch! That truth hurts.
Oakspar Oakspar its ok to be evil.

It does make it easy to know who the foes of good are.
Or who is actually good when fair is foul and foul is fair, such that those who are good are painted as those who are evil.
+Horny, okay in your mind, but your name says it all. Evil is bad and declaring that bad is good is just sloppy thinking -- Orwellian nonsense.

Google needs a biology class
I would actually be offended if you told me that I'm built and function like a man! Not that it's a bad thing in any way but because scientifically or logically it's not sound🤔🤔.
Men are men and women are women. Being different does not mean lesser or better. It's just different and there's nothing complicated about that. Come on people
I actually did read his paper. Solid arguments and sound reasoning. Unfortunate the media had to force their own interpretation and agenda.
even better than some scientists' findings.
It had some questionable issues, like using terms "the left" like its some kind of collective. Some assumptions were also bit far reaching vs. the studies used. But i wouldn't have fired someone for it. Maybe asked for toned down version(remove the political shit and concentrate on matter on hand) as conversation starter.
+Markku Hanninen
The problem is that "the left" are and act like a collective. There are those that break the mold for sure but the collective left are are pushing the political narrative for the issues that Mr. Demore talks about. That is mostly the problem. This has ceased to be a social discussion and instead is a political one.
I highly doubt they took the time to "interpret" anything, the media more often than not simply regurgitates a singular opinion based on information from arbitrary origins. They have been caught without the facts more times than I can count in the last year alone.
That is just the snake oil pundits sell you. There is spectrum of opinions, not collective one. The left is as much collective of SJWs as "the right" is just gun toting homophobes. Sure stereotypes exist, but they are not nearly as common as pundits try to sell you. They make money putting people against each other.
Google changed their "Don't Be Evil" motto.
Turbo Trump DO MORE EVIL!!!!!!!
Google: Don't be evil! That's our job!
If they're taking suggestions for a new motto it could be "let's be dicks"
At least they're honest.
It's now "do the right thing."

MrAntichrist12 Original comment and your correction are on point. Orwell must be spinning in his grave faster than a jet engine.
Remember the day when YT was indeed open and free? Then Google bought them out . . . It's been down hill ever since. :(
I do not use Google for searches and am looking for a different video outlet. Time to move on from the restrictive and closed minded environment on YT.
MotherOfManyHorses I use Bing & Yahoo - one on my phone, one on my computer. The two sticklers are YT and Maps.
duckduckgo is a great search engine.
MotherOfManyHorses many people are looking for a new video outlet, but no other service has provided one yet. I doubt there will be any real competitors for at least 10 more years since 20 years is the lifespan of many flavors of the internet, imo. Some people wish Twitch would open a video uploading service since Twitch is well known for caring about their community.
MoonbeamsMuses both Bing and Yahoo are still tracked and your data is stored on their servers. The movement is now towards DuckDuckGo. GREAT search engine with no tracking. Same for Brave internet browser. It doesn't track and store/sell any of your information. Those are the two I use.
Same result when Microsoft buys things like Powerpoint and Hotmail.
Poor guy :( hope this setback hasn’t dragged him down too much
I remember the first time I heard "Don't be evil". My immediate thought was "Let's see how long THAT lasts."
A company having a Vice President of Diversity, Integrity and Governance is already telling enough about what their position is going to be on any given issue.
endorbr, so true! There should never be any talk about diversity in the workplace. It should be all about merit. Period.
Except diversity makes teams happier/more productive (all members regardless of background) and brings in different viewpoints. Protip in the future, when you apply for anything, they're not looking to put people onto a single scale and rate them on some imaginary one-dimensional merit, they're looking for team members, and a diversity of backgrounds and experiences is 100% important to that. It's not PC, it's good business sense. So yeah, any large company should be (and is) looking to diversify their hires as much as possible.
The argument is all about "diversity of people" vs "diversity of thought".
Angel nailed it. What Umbrall said is only good when it's diversity of _thought_ that we're talking about. Yes, different ideas, opinions, and viewpoints are helpful, and sometimes that is in part fueled by people having different socio-economic backgrounds and the like, but merely looking at skin color or gender is quite clearly missing the point. They had some diversity of thought (and it sounds like lots of good ideas) with Mr. Damore...but they fired him _for_ it. It's hard to believe, but I wonder if Google, an _internet-based company,_ forgot that the _internet_ exists, and that this would eventually get out...and make them look like the hypocrites they are.
Diversity of thought is great. That's how you get new ideas and avoid stagnation. Relevant to business, diversity of thought is derived from experience and education, certifications and training. It has little if anything to do with how much melanin someone has, what country they're from, or whether or not their genitals dangle. Too many businesses simply look to hire more women, more minorities, more people with disabilities... because the checkbox they're looking to fill has everything to do with image, which creates diversity of people but not necessarily a diversity of thought.
I applaud James Damore for his guts in not only writing his 10-page document, but also for appearing in this video.
He was smart, and never apologized for the truth. Too many in his position have.
We need more people like James Damore.
As Software Engineer, I'm also proud of other software engineers taking care of the madness of politics today. Is totally crazy how they are violating our free speech, also getting against scientific facts
Pablo Cholaky you engineers should protest. Google RUclips etc are nothing without your knowledge. Don't accept the situation like you have no power. Make them scrub that diversity quota and all the politically correct crap out of your workplace or let them program with SJW and see how that works
You do realise according to his claims this video should of been taken down right
So much for diversity... isn't somewhat beatiful that the ideological drive for diversity is actually going against it. its simple, we are all diferent, we are all inviduals, treat us as such.
No force on earth makes 'intellectuals' tremble more, than the power of truth. They're terrified of it.
You actually got James Damore to come on? Nice!
He'll take pretty much any conservative gig these days.
The man, the myth, the legend!
beayn maybe it's because conservatives are the only people actually willing to talk to him.
Yeah. That must REALLY stick in Google's craw. And on YT too!
He is now a professional victim. Wa Wa.
See what's funny is that by firing this guy, Google proved the validity of this paper's main point.
Essentially, if you have a different viewpoint than the one that's being echoed in the "echo chamber," you are immediately shamed and punished for dissenting from the status quo, which should be seen as absolutely ludicrous in a society like ours where diversity and differing viewpoints are a central tennant. He even states in his article that his "larger point is that we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology," like his paper. Yet when he goes against the status quo (he barely went against Google's ideology imo, his simply pointed out its flaws and gave reccomendations on how to fix them) he is fired! Absolute madness.
Ironically, Prager does the same to the Alt-Right by falsely accusing them as white supremacists and racists. People on the Alt-Right are being maligned all the time by the media and society, but Prager says nothing until he personally has been lumped in with them. There's nothing noble about Prager having James Damore on his channel, because his motive is based on fear for his business. Conservatives are virtue signaling to the media and to the left that those bad racists called the Alt-Right are really the bad guys. It ain't going to work, because the Alt-Right knows the future is identity politics. The future of the right is the Alt-Right and conservatives are finding that out one by one.
This mess not only at google but other businesses is /was caused by leftwing freaks in the democratic party.The democrats have wasted tax dollars in a witch hunt. Almost from day one with Mr Trump winning the election, the freaks amongst the democrats have and are now still trying to impeach the legally elected President.After what the democrats have done ,why would anyone ever vote for a democrat, all they've been are obstructionists and using stalinist tactics to undermine the United States Constitution.
PragerU is a conservative echo chamber. Different viewpoints are shamed as well.

Yup. Google worships at the alter of PC.
They'll sacrifice ANYTHING for it... peoples' careers, our future... even the truth.
Not just PC, keep in mind that advertisers also set a lot of rules because they provide money to RUclips. Money that RUclipsrs don't provide directly. I think it would be more productive to blame advertisers. But doing that has another implication that is too hard to swallow for many people, especially Americans: this is an unwanted effect of capitalism.
It's PragerU, Google/RUclips hates PragerU.

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views.

A policy that they can make up on the spot?
Howhaveyouben How did he violate their policy? You can’t make any law or policy that goes directly against our Constitution! Even with it being a private company, not being willing to uphold peaceful “free speech” from a “research paper” of sorts is unconstitutional and Google should lose if he decided to sue.

The funniest thing about this is that having men and women be biologically driven towards different goals and interests is fundamentally good. Not because this puts men in the natural status of breadwinner and women in the natural status as homemaker, but that men and women can make up for each other's failings while sharing in their counterpart's natural successes. If men are on average more interested in things and women on average more interested in people, maybe as a group they can come together to make a program or product that can be both internally efficient and outwardly user-friendly rather than just one or the other. Biological differences do not make genders separate castes, but they are nature's way of making sure that humanity always has two hands on the steering wheel and doesn't end up in an echo chamber of its own.
In a society where men are forced to think like women and women forced to think like men, everyone loses. Let people do what interests them - whether that makes them apart of the average or an outlier - and stop yelling at them for being who they naturally are.
SgtHydra can we trend this
I'm not disagreeing with you, but your argument won't convince anyone who already thinks like that. The reason being is that they would be offended by your assumption that men and women NEED each other to make up for the others' failings. Because that would imply women have failings that men need to rescue them from.
Evan Huizenga too true. They would view this as a statement that says "women need men to save them" when the argument CLEARLY STATES THAT MEN EQUALLY NEED WOMEN TO SAVE THEM. We all have deficiencies, and only a fool believes that we can be all perfectly balanced and fulfilled in this life without help from each other.
This hyper focus on individualism in gender roles and equality is killing the family unit. It drives men and women further apart and weakens them, but claims to empower them both.
The irony physically pains me.
SgtHydra here’s the thing:
There a joker quote, talking about how civilized society hates warriors.
*men’s biological role is a warrior/protector*
Orppranator We're not talking about war, we're talking about the workplace. It is true that men have an increase in hormones that lead to muscle growth, but this never meant that women did not participate in manual labor. In most societies that are truly fighting for survival, you want every able bodied worker doing their part to contribute. All sheltering women from the workplace does is create a culture unprepared for harsh realities. Should we send most women to war? Probably not. Should they be earning their keep in society? At all times.
NO MATTER WHAT GOOGLE thinks the real truth is out there.
Excited!! Thank you for standing up!!
Now this video needs to go viral.
Noooooo... That's what Google wants... Scroll through the comments and you'll find my comment. Then you'll uderstand.
Google / RUclips will totally block or partially restrict this video FOR SURE !!
Bruno Lord Yep
James Damore, I’m sorry for your loss. This is such evil. You are an enlightened person. You will be forever remembered and inspirational to others.
This is what happens when people grow up in their little echo-chambers. What? ANOTHER opinion? You are banned!
It's probably why there is so much mental illness counter-intuitively to the prosperity in developed countries. It seems similar to the immune system and not developing enough fortitude through controlled exposure. Ideas even, when harmless, can knock people over because they weren't given the 'measles vaccination' when they were young.
And this is why I use DuckDuckGo.
just so you know, Duckduckgo is censored and controls what your search results will actually show too. now i'm not claiming it is as bad as google, but i shit you not, when i notice a site nolonger searchable on google, its also not searchable on duckduckgo, even with EXACT WEBSITE NAME typed in. so dont get too complacent, its negligible to call it better than google when they censor the same subjects, scientific data resources, and websites.
How long until RUclips removes this video as well?
Whiskas well it's been a day and I think Google is scared to remove it because a large amount of people have already seen it so it being removed would send people into a rage and Google would be in some small trouble
They took it off trending however.
they won't remove the video. they'll demonetize it and restrict it for "no meeting their community standards" or whatever random nonsense.
i donated to the legal actio that prager is taking against google. you should too!
It's been in my suggested videos for days. I only watched it because I was bored and Google kept shoving it on me ironically.
Do you have a source for RUclips targeting rightists and not leftists, or some evidence? I mean, RUclips doesn't really discriminate RUclipsrs on either side no matter what.
Google went from don't be evil to let's be dicks.
Their new motto is, "Don't be evil - that's our job!"
i suspect they were always evil........
Don't be evil... DO EVIL
Evil? Street views taken without public consent? My car in front of my residence? Regardless of blurring license plates and faces is a (government's) invasion of privacy!
They've been evil for a long time. Android as it is now would not exist if they weren't evil and would remain a blackberry clone.
Thank you for speaking out! May freedom reign supreme!
A quote by me, “if you say something true, it’s politically incorrect.”
The big irony here is female google employees subsequently fired a class action lawsuit about their pay gap. Since google said Damore's theory doesn't hold water, they've tacitly admitted they’re sexist and now have no leg to stand on to fight the lawsuit.
That’s called Karma
I thought an additional irony was that a group of woman at Google were so offended by being told statics favor that woman take off more days to personal reasons (and thus, it makes sense they are paid less since they work less), that they took the rest of the week off.
So, they’ll just pay their female employees what they deserve.
Will Higgins What they deserve is a slap of common sense
Just out of curiosity, after the lawsuit is settled, will those bitches go back to making those Snatchwiches I like? Without the crust of course.
The mad men they actually did it.
Not exactly hard... if you read the document I think it come across pretty clearly that the guy is an attention-seeking jerk. Like, it's one thing to write "I studied human careers and it looks like women are less willing to be workaholics, unlike men", there's actually a lot of research on this. But coming up with things like "hurr durr that means women should be given different roles because I 'studied' that", which he did, is another thing and it's pretty blatantly inflammatory. I wouldn't be surprised if he asked them to be interviewed, not the other way around. Never underestimate how much idiocy humans are capable of just to feel recognized.
They fired him because he said the KKK title "Grand Wizard" was cool.

Who doesnt want to be a Grand Wizard
the primary cause of injustice is ignorance.
::HUGS:: I always wanted to give James one of these b/c I felt he got railroaded big time😢
This kid is a hero.
You monster, how dare you publish researched studies and provide reasonable solutions!
To be fair, he was making a _lot_ of assumptions about his specific environment. He may have been right, but regardless of his correctness or intent, he went against Google's policies and jumped to a lot of conclusions about how other employees (male or female) feel.
He approached the situation wrong and as a result, it should've been no surprise that he got fired. I'm not saying he should have been, but at the same time, his argument (at least based on this video) is incomplete.
Yeah another reason why America is not free shoot can't even speak your own opinion and he had proof and evidence to back his statements I have read his documents Google wants people that are willing to see only what they see and they dislike others viewpoints and ideas if it's not their own
Well, any pay to publish journal will take unscientific dribble, but if you support it it's okay!
Colin Atterbury doesn't he know that using reason is not allowed in 2017?
I figured this out searching information myself. When I seek clarity on controversial issues, google always ends up giving me leftist/liberal articles on the issue.
How disgraceful that Damore was fired.
Thank you, Prager U, for giving this gentleman a public platform!
Can you privatize that
Read my comment to this video.
For lying about why he was fired?
MadDemon64
you are the one who is lying
+Flying Monk
As evidenced by the fact that I told the truth.
Google is sending us to 1984.
christopher bonner yes.
And hopefully another George Washington will send us a 1776
christopher bonner the left as a whole is.
Right. Not the pro-state media VP, anti-net neutrality communications head or Russian-bought politicians
christopher bonner if you don't like Google what are you doing on RUclips??
christopher bonner boner :)
Thank you for truth!!👍🏼
It’s not even their culture or principles... what?? I see why so many employees left....
When he said " I'm James Damore, for Prager University" I cheered like I do for my favorite football team. What an acquisition! GO PragerU !!
1k feminists disliked this video
Mara Quin Apparently what MOST are SAYING and THINKING (as you seem to like highlighting words in caps as most feminists do) is that this guy was unfairly fired from google, and at the time of writing there were 1k dislikes.... your point being?
perhaps the Dislikes are people who Dislike what happened to this fellow.
Maralah Quin yea just did that and HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. So maybe you should do it? Must be hard going through life triggered and ignorant 😂
I’m a woman and I approve this message 👍🏽 though I have no idea why youtube waited to show this to me in 2019 instead of 2017?? 🤔
I've heard it rumored that Google no longer uses "Don't be evil." as it's motto.
You go gettem James!
#demonetised for hate speech
*demonetized
#spelling
Thanks so much for the people that put subtitles! (In Spanish specially)
I like how he did this on a google doc.
Google is full of hypocrites.
Thank you. Very courageous. Wishing you the best. You found out the consequences for having moral courage. Like president Trump, you are feeling the result of standing up for your convictions. I am very proud that there are people like you and our President.
JAMES DAMORE you're my hero!
This channel is amazing. Thanks for talking about these issues. Happy thanksgiving!
In his letter, Mr. DaMore was right to point out that women are generally more interested in people while men are interested in things. Even the women at google proved him right by complaining to HR and taking several days off to work out their emotions shortly after the "incident."
You'd think that many women would be interested in acquiring a firearm to feel safer and more empowered in a world where they believe any man can rape them at the drop of a hat.That is not the case though. Most gun tutorial videos are made by men and I personally love to find the ones where women are the ones doing the reviewing and the shooting. They know the technical specs and take initiative to empower themselves instead of giving more power to the government.
THESE are the rare cases where women take interest in things. These also happen to be non-leftist women who actually command respect and admiration much like Ms. Dana Loesch. This is in stark contrast to the RUclips CEO who liberally uses terms like Mansplaining and Microagressions.
One of these two generally looses the public's respect very fast every time she opens her mouth.
*@ Emily L:* Ladies first. ;P
*@ Victor R:* Being Pedantic: *loses please, one too many O's. Only typo though, so A+ material.
The whole "women are generally more interested in people while men are interested in things" was taken from a British study. I'd say that America does not work the same way. I have an innate ability to read anyone and I will say that with all of the women I've encountered in my life time... it is not true at all. Women tend to even be more selfish. Do we think it is a coincidence that it is so easy for women to manipulate men? Women are not as nice as they were back in the day and connections are really only about getting ahead or having someone around who has something you do not and can learn from. In most cases, women do not even realize that it is a thing, but it is always present in a female group dynamic. Trust me, there are just as many female duds as there are male ones, but I kind of appreciate being underestimated by the majority of men. It makes it easier to win.
I could care less about most people and this manifesto for that matter. I find it more intriguing how everyone responds to it. I think it is utterly ridiculous that everyone calls him 'smart' when he was legitimately stupid enough to write something that would obviously get him fired. At the very least, it makes him clueless. Anyone who truly knows people will tell you that men are far more predictable. In all honesty, I don't even like people until they display some sort of common sense (which is rare in our society if this whole situation is any indication of it). Safe this... respect that... No one is ever truly safe and with the majority of cases where a weapon is taken from the victim and used against them, I would test my luck with just gouging out an eye or ripping out the carotid artery.
I always thought the main difference lied in the types of objects. For instance, men being really into cars, while women are really into shoes and jewelry. I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say women are more interested in people when, at the same time, women are known to be less confrontational and less likely to initiate the conversation compared to a man. Also as the person pointed out earlier, British and American culture are fairly different from each other.
most women actually want guns, do you even talk to us lol
These women just used it to justify taking a few days off, fully funded by Google, I'm sure, for their pain and suffering! What a load of crap!
Remember, Google is skynet.
Gogoky, yes 10000%
No, I work for the *real* Skynet. We're a satellite company with nothing to do with Google or mad, killer robots! 😆
Utter champion. A martyr. Thank you for putting the truth before your career!
My workplace forced me to sit through sensitivity training, where the definition of sexism was listed as by a man against a woman. Sexual harassment was similarly defined as being by a man and against a woman. It was specifically stated that he neither case can the men be the victims. Meanwhile I have seen several good candidates refused promotions and candidly told that the reason was because they were male, and that the person was required to hire a woman instead. But somehow that's not sexist!
Who would win in a critical analysis of a research paper, some well-known academics with doctorates in their respective fields or Google's mentally-sensitive CEOs?
probably the CEOs
this is what the world is these days
Its still up for debate in the scientific community... many doctors in their respective fields disagreed with his interpretation of the data and his sources in general
Google won the lawsuit. Is it not hypocritical for PragerU to sue Google on this when they said that gays should just find bakers who are willing to serve them and leave the ones who refuse to serve them alone? PragerU needs to find another baker, er, I mean website.
To all the people commenting that gender differences are indeed simply the result of stereotypes and roles pushed on us from an early age, how do you explain the fact that, in virtually all sexually dimorphic species, there are significant behavioural differences between the male and the female of the species? I'm genuinely interested to know, because I've never heard anyone of the "gender is a social construct" mindset attempt to give a rational explanation for that. And if there's no evidence that women are more suited to being the primary caregivers for children, then why can't men breastfeed? I don't doubt that society does influence the way we behave, but I think this is a secondary factor, the primary factor being directly measurable biological differences. Science has proved time and again how much our behaviour is influenced by hormones; for example, men tend to be more aggressive than women as a result of higher testosterone levels. Furthermore, brain scans have shown that the brains of men and women are wired differently, and we therefore think differently. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, but they are just that: exceptions. Who actually benefits from this aggressive denial of reality? We're different for a reason, and our differences are supposed to complement each other. Instead it's turned into a competition, and society is becoming progressively sicker as a result.
I’m no biology major or anything so take what I have to say as an opinion and I’m not trying to present it as fact but I think that women are biologically here to create offspring and men are biologically here to protect the offspring they create. In nature this is great but nowadays our main goal isn’t to pass on our genes. I believe that women are pressured into fulfilling their biological needs while men aren’t. Women are pressured to have children and raise a family. However, men don’t seem to be pressured to take care of their family. Instead they’re pressured to make money and be successful which will give their families the money to obtain resources to survive, but men don’t need a family to take care of. This causes people to be assigned to “boxes” that tell them what their future will be like. Honestly I don’t think it’s possible to know if these boxes are legitimate and valid at all. Perhaps men and women really are different. But in this day and age our main goal in life is not to pass on our genetics, it’s to be happy. Why should we be assigning people to these boxes and saying that “a family will make you happy” or “money and success will make you happy” when we don’t necessarily know that that is true. I think that if there are biological differences between men and women then they don’t seem to be terribly significant. Therefore, I think we should try to dissolve these expectations based on gender. It’s reasonable to assume that plenty of women would be happiest with money and success and plenty of men would be happy with a family. My biggest problem with this video is probably that they showed a women’s goal as being a house with a white picket fence and the men’s goal as sitting behind a desk. It kind of implies that women couldn’t survive without men, but men could easily survive without women. It makes women look useless and only good for taking care of the family. This leads to a negative stereotype that will cause a lot of people to follow a path that won’t make them happy. I don’t think that holding meetings for women only is gonna do anything about it but also consider that those meetings could be( though I admit probably aren’t) about things that only affect women. Like what brand of tampons to put in the tampon dispensers. Or how much maternity leave is necessary. If women only meetings really were about those issues then it would really suck for men (who have no idea how much time you need to recover from labor or what kind of tampon doesn’t damage your vagina) to be the ones finding solutions to these issues.
kkkacid I think your right about todays mindsets and and really not needing to check a box to be happy. But that's only on the surface because as you pointed out the biology deep down says different in both men and women. Being free from the box is liberating. But can it last forever ?
Sneaky Gollum that should read gender is "in part" a Social Construct ...To think that it is all a construct is a little extreme
No sane person could ever claim that the genders have the same abilities. Women are shorter. So who would win a basketball game between randomly picked men and randomly picked women?
Amen
The 1.4 thousand dislikes are from employees that would be fired if they didn’t.
Every thing he said makes sense & google fired him ? So bizarre.
His firing was the breaking point for me i use bing now and dont buy any phone thats partnered with google
Time for DuckDuckGo
duck duck goose shills are getting annoying
the reason they are "shilling is because bing and yahoo are horse shit and google.. They are lower than worm shit.
Remember that DuckDuckGo is based in the United States, which means that they could be forced by the government to hand over data and be placed under a gag order.
For this reason and because I don't like their search results, I prefer Qwant
bullcrap
Duckduckgo DOES show you different search results
even anti-american results that jewoogle won't show you
hell it even shows childporn if you search for it
give it a try
TRUE STORY: I was at a shopping mall with a friend and her son and daughter. We went into a candy store and noticed they had chocolate lollipops shaped like cute animals. My friend and her daughter said, “Oh, how adorable.” My friend’s son walked over and said, “Yum, chocolate.”
I realized, this was an EXCELLENT example of the differences in the sexes. The girls saw cute cuddly animals and the boy looked at it and only saw chocolate.
But thanks to the LOONY LEFT, stating the OBVIOUS; that men and women are DIFFERENT (and that’s OK), is now FORBIDDEN.
JAMES YOU ARE MY HERO , BRAVO , I hope James is doing good financially now. He's a smart guy and deserves to have his brain used productively. There is not enough people like him.
As one who HATES generalizing about men and women, NO ONE generalizes more about men and women than "feminists" and "sjw's" and "liberals" and "progressives".....
This guy is sensible
nameless wanderer ok....😂
Yah.. the document he wrote rocks. Its reasoned and obviously is searching for ways to help Google hire more women. The media calling it a 'anti-diversity screed' were committing slander.
nameless wanderer
no, he's really not
R King he had ideas that he shouldn't have been fired for having, but he didn't say them in smart ways.
As soon as you try and say 'men or women are more qualified for this or that because of their gender and brain' your argument and points have already been tossed out.
Snorlaxation why?
'Don't be evil' and 'think differently' are the best self-ironies in the modern business world. Then again, we have the Democratic Republic of Congo...
Just the fact that Google actually had a senior executive with diversity in the title is all you need to know. Screw reality or competency, race/gender is more important.
The Evergreen State College in Olympia made the same change in 2017. Now, instead of hiring a brilliant chemist to teach a chemistry class (for example), they will only hire a chemistry theorist who will have to prove that they "dedicated their career to fostering equity", according to their new Equity Model. So, unlike when I was attending Evergreen, professors won't be hired and graded for their excellence in their particular fields, but by how much effort they've put into 'equity'. Other universities are doing the exact same thing, which should terrify all of us, because our kids are being taught by people who are thoroughly unqualified to teach. I swear, everytime I see "Evergreen" on my resume, I feel compelled to delete it and write in a different college altogether, lol.
