If anyone who agrees with James Damore's point is motivated to see the reason these arguments are summarily dismissed by many, I recommend reading "the mismeasure of man", by Stephen Jay Gould.
The idea of biological determinism has one fatal flaw... the grouping.

Great article.
If anyone who agrees with James Damore's point is motivated to see the reason these arguments are summarily dismissed by many, I recommend reading "the mismeasure of man", by Stephen Jay Gould.
The idea of biological determinism has one fatal flaw... the grouping.
Stephen Jay Gould was later found out to have mismeasured data he used in that book.

What do you think about Steven Pinker's "Blank Slate". I think he does a good job of refuting Gould's work.
