Some interesting blurbs from the manifesto:

"This document is mostly written from the perspective of Google’s Mountain View campus, I can’t speak about other offices or countries."

"Change is good (unstable)" vs "Change is dangerous (stable)"

"Women generally also have a stronger interest in people rather than things" thus "This leads to women generally having a harder time ... leading."

"some on the Right deny science that runs counter to the “God > humans > environment” hierarchy (e.g., evolution and climate change)"

"Thankfully, climate scientists and evolutionary biologists generally aren’t on the right."

"the Left tends to deny science concerning biological differences between people (e.g., IQ[8] and sex differences)."

"Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of humanities and social scientists learn left (about 95%)"

"Ironically, IQ tests were initially championed by the Left when meritocracy meant helping the victims of the aristocracy."

"males are biologically disposable and because women are generally more cooperative and areeable than men."

"Alienating conservatives is both non-inclusive and generally bad business because conservatives tend to be higher in conscientiousness"

"empathy—feeling another’s pain—causes us to focus on anecdotes, favor individuals similar to us, and harbor other irrational and dangerous biases."

"Considering women spend more money than men and that salary represents how much the employees sacrifices (e.g. more hours, stress, and danger), we really need to rethink our stereotypes around power."
