    It's sorta remarkable how in the span of a few months the pendulum has swung back. It shows that companies do not lead trend, so much as follow them.

    "DEI" is a political football thrown around. What really should be emphasized is: Every employee at a company or in government should be treated and evaluated as an individual, not as the member of this or that group.

    James Damore was right in the end. Lots of talk of “bravery” and “speaking truth to power” and in most cases it’s just someone saying the latest politically correct thing. There’s no risk, etc.

    James Damore was brave and was speaking truth to power and his convictions caused him to lose his employment and made him a pariah in his industry.
