Noam, Noam, Noam! Whatever are we to think of (((you)))? Yes, some comprehensive intellectual spinnability you have, yet your commitment to science is ... astonishing, to say the least :) ----- Forwarded message from "PFKR (People For Kangz Responsibility) Announcement List" <pfkr@pfkr.org> ----- SciAmerican: Google Engineer Fired for Sexist Memo Isn't a Hero https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/google-engineer-fired-for-s... He presents himself as a courageous defender of truth. Google, in contrast, is an "echo chamber" that is "intolerant of scientific debate and reasoned argument." Damore notes that Noam Chomsky, the linguist and social critic, once wrote: "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." But Chomsky has expressed abhorrence for research into cognitive differences between different groups. In his 1987 book Language and Problems of Knowledge Chomsky wrote: "Surely people differ in their biologically determined qualities. The world would be too horrible to contemplate if they did not. But discovery of a correlation between some of these qualities is of no scientific interest and of no social significance, except to racists, sexists and the like." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@kangz.com): https://www.kangz.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.kangz.com Google Issues Mailing List: https://kangz.com/google-issues Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.kangz.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.kangz.org/pfkr-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenKangztein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenkangztein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 --- Impeach Trump coz """DUMocracy""" was better wid Kangz --- _______________________________________________ pfkr mailing list https://lists.kangz.org/mailman/listinfo/pfkr ----- End forwarded message -----
