I’ll call this a “movie”: That is, “James Damore at Portland
State”.
The remarks by James and others at 15:30 and then earlier at
13:00 he mentions violent threats from coworkers.
This is just incredible.
Participant Media should make this into a dramatized movie (but Participant
isn’t “conservative” enough, maybe).
Damore (text of his memo) seems only to have criticized quotas by gender. True, statistically, there are differences by
gender. Then they talk about the
difference between “binary” and “bimodal”.
Then they distinguish between “stereotyping” and “talking
about population distributions”.
Protesters get up and leaver when a panelist says women
gestate and lactate. Then out in the
lobby protesters call the panelists fascists.
I thought this was a staged movie!
But protestors haven’t been taught the relevant statistical
concepts and what you use statistics for. They can see only the end headcounts
(at about 20:40).
"Inclusion" is presented as a trojan horse term.
Google's idea of diversity wasn't big enough that could not take issue with itself (at 45:00) -- it could not function as meta-speech.
Arstechnica has a good summary of the whole incident and of Dampore's litigation.
There is an important question at 57:00 about how diversity works in Scandanavia, where it seems females are superior in everything maybe.
At 1:02 a "comrade" refuses to identify herself because of the possibility of being "doxed" and she claims her people are being shut down.

An interesting byline is that big league sports don’t
actually make gender a requirement to play.
It’s just that normally only men can play most of them. But I would be that eventually there will be
transgender players in Major League baseball, especially relief pitchers.
