Absurdity At Google
Truth Based Logic ^ | August 23, 2017 | William Flax

Posted on 08/23/2017 9:27:13 AM PDT by Ohioan

As "wise men" once understood that the sun revolved around the earth, a new business "elite" have come to understand inherent "bigotry" & "discrimination" in such once widely accepted personal classifications, as those by sex, ethnicity, race, age & common sense. With a staccato uniformity, we hear an endless iteration of the chant that such concepts have no place in the personnel management of an aspiring corporation.

Aspirants are not content, only to show enthusiasm in rejecting "bigotry" in classifying humans. It has become, increasingly, a competition to act proactively; to condition personnel to recognize & reject efforts to consider data from which one, not well conditioned, could possibly conclude that such involuntary factors as sex, ethnicity, race, age or common sense, might actually have a connection to achievement levels, based on different specific aptitudes.

Google's hysterical reaction to an employee daring to suggest that one actually investigate whether or not the sexes have equivalent propensities to high tech aptitudes, seemed too revealing to ignore. For the world's major search engine to display such bias against a mere suggestion that they actually investigate a subject clearly within the immediate scope of their own business--to reject such suggestion so emphatically, by immediately firing the one daring to suggest, tells us a great deal about Google's objectivity! They have none, nor any tolerance, whatsoever, where egalitarian dogma is concerned. Robespierre or Lenin could scarcely have been more ridiculously pig-headed. biased.

At the risk of Google being “unable to find” my Conservative Resource Center in the future, I felt that this required calling them out.

"Google's hysterical reaction to an employee daring to suggest...">

Google reflects the current generation the 'hysterical', madness, irrationality and fear of what are indisputably the facts....intolerance of truth.

Antifa, BLM, Media, professors and universities, grade school dictum/indoctrination of collective obedience by those mentioned who love to hate and cause violence. Their lack of intelligence i.e., pulling down history; taking offense at whatever moves them that day, false inflated grades leaving several generations of vacuous young Americans who have no idea of their history....however, they do know the names and times of T.V. shows...ears/brains plugged into mindless and unintelligible 'music'....

I share your disdain for the reasoning ability--that is the lack of actual reasoning ability--by those you describe.

The Left reflects neurotic compulsions in place of analysis of social dynamics.

Compassion Or Compulsion?

Here is another excerpt:

In other articles, we have suggested that the humanist fervor--the determination to treat humanity as a single entity, as a unity--regardless of cost, is a conceptual effort to return to Nimrod at Babel. That it would take a Dean Swift to adequately capture the complex realities of contemporary America (Gulliver Discovers America). Suffice it to say, we have long dissented from claims that the new Corporate mandates represent wisdom, kindness, tolerance or anything of positive benefit to either sex, or to anyone of any ethnicity, race or age; and, most certainly, not beneficial to anyone with common sense. They insult & deny the higher aspirations of each of us.

Google is now the STASI for the new Super State.

What they clearly are not are the classic "liberal intellectuals" that they fancy. They certainly are not tolerant, rational or objective, either.

On the other hand, while they seek a monolithic thought control, to dictate values, they remind me more of harridans cackling or gobbling while the teen aged daughters of wealthy landowners are having their heads cut off, than they suggest those actually able to organize the slaughter.

I think I have actually seen that comparison somewhere in some Historical writings... Now I remember. Some Fellow had published a book of mathematics (in the 1850s) in which he makes this very point about the Puritan Harridans imposing their will on others.

Now I wonder if I still have that tab open somewhere? Hmmm....

Speaking of the Puritans--and their fanatical approach to social & political issues. Are you familiar with Bancroft's description of their laws against preaching the Quaker religion in the 1650s? I am not sure what the penalty was for a first offense--perhaps being confined in the stocks for a day. But the third offense--assuming any Quaker dared same--was a red hot poker through the offender's tongue.

I doubt if even the closed minds at Google would propose that. But maybe I am giving them more credit for compassion than they merit.

Here is another excerpt:

The mood of corporate gate keepers appears to place the highest priority, in all personnel decisions, on never showing any inclination to consider these now forbidden classifications in any human employment decision, except as such might serve the pursuit of "diversity"; which, with "equality" and "non-discrimination," have come to define their highest aspirations. In these pursuits, the classification based on "common sense" has become the most egregious of all--the one to be most desperately avoided!

No I am not.

“Beware of all those in whom the urge to punish is strong”.

At least he got that one right.

I doubt if even the closed minds at Google would propose that. But maybe I am giving them more credit for compassion than they merit.

I think it would only be a question of time. Once you have convinced yourself that you are moral and others are not, and therefore these others need punishment to be administered by you, it becomes an ever expanding vicious circle.

I think cruelty is inherent in the nature of man, and something very much loved by many men is the ability to be cruel without objections from their conscience.

Well fanaticism directed at reforming others, always seems to bring out the very worst in the practitioners.

Here is Poe's insight on New England fanaticism in the 1840s:

What is most revealing about the Google absurdity, is that they really do not appear to recognize that it is their hysterical reaction to a reasonable request, that actually insults both their female employees, as well as women in general.

Think about it. Is any job that Google has to offer, anywhere near as important as the traditional female role in every human society? I mean really, are they such totally self-congratulatory poseurs that they do not see how ridiculous is their implied denial that fundamental femininity, for the sake of femininity, is even more important than any male or female's job, working for an internet giant--even one searching or not searching for particular data (which reflects or does not reflect their insular bias).

Here is still another excerpt, which captures the spirit of the article:

Google did not invent hypocrisy; nor absolute intolerance to freedom of thought--the freedom to extend, rather than confine the human quest for knowledge. History is replete with its Galileos being forced to recant discovered truth; with crucifixions & burnings at the stake--manifold and frequent demonstrations of how fanatics enforce their will. Yet here is a company that has built its wealth, reputation & Persona on the human quest for information, firing a highly skilled employee for daring to suggest a logical project in that quest for information, within its very sphere!

I know, it is questionable taste to quote oneself. But it says what needs to be said.
