I'm sorry but "scientific" is a pretty big exaggeration here even from a purely methodological standpoint. the dude does start out trying to support some of his assertions (albeit seriously misrepresenting at least one of his sources and using others that are literally Experimental Design 101 textbook examples of how not to run experiments) which I guess could be construed that way, but he then supplies no evidence for his conclusions. Note the almost complete lack of citations or experimental support in the "Suggestions" section pointing to studies showing his ideas would positively impact the problems he claims to care about, the lack of any sort of failure-analysis or exploration of alternatives or discussion outside of the thesis of his argument. he just states some premises and jumps to a list of unsupported and barely related conclusions. this can hardly be read as anything other than a list of political grievances and I don't understand why people keep describing this as if it were some sort of scientific endeavor.

Fascinating. Did you watch the entire linked video on this story? In the video description, there are quite a few scientific studies linked that back up Damore's views. But I'm sure you've got some FUD for me on that video as well.

I can do FUD, too. Watch this! Hey 46775335788, what's got you running damage control so hard on this story that you'd reply to some schmoe who top posted on a page 3 (doomed) New story? A paycheck perhaps?

What an interesting comment history your throwaway account has - first post on this New story, eh throwaway?

"there are quite a few scientific studies linked"

to support the premises maybe, but even then the conclusions are still largely unrelated to the premises and unsupported by any of the studies cited. I don't see anything particularly hackerly about defending bad attempts at science and have been continually attacked for this opinion for some reason I'm sure has nothing to do with people on both sides ignoring scientific procedure when it comes to either of their political interests.

You disagree with the conclusions, what a surprise. News flash: your passionate disagreement doesn't make you right or lend you any moral superiority.

You want to attempt superiority? How about choose a conclusion from the doc or the video and make your case. Are you purely agenda-fueled? Do you have the best interests of the future of Google and Google culture at heart? How the hell should I know, all you've done is throw shade.

Or is being reasonable not required in your case?

I love this. You're being attacked because we think you're siding with the fascists. When you get fired for your speech and pilloried in the town square, come talk to me about your victim status.

Oh yeah, by the way 865356743, legit news agencies are citing THIS video. Gotta kill this story now, right?! Can you somehow get this video censored for 'insensitive' speech?

Get your employers down at YouTube to move the video to an unreachable place - call that place a gulag -- no, no, call it a video Goolag! Haha, that would be perfect.
