>Feminism is also important to me in terms of diversity in tech, although as an upper-class white woman with strong connections in the tech world, the problems here affect me much less than they do other people. The same goes for my involvement in intersectional feminism.
>I also think that some community leaders just don't value diversity. It's really easy to argue that tech is a meritocracy, and the reason there are so few marginalized people in tech is just that they aren't interested, and that the problem comes from earlier on in the pipeline. They argue that if someone is good enough at their job, their gender or race or sexual orientation doesn't matter. That's the easy argument. But I was raised not to make excuses for mistakes. And I think the lack of diversity is a mistake, and that we should be taking responsibility for it and actively trying to make it better.

Hasn't that been disproven though? I remember hearing time and time again that in countries/societies where they give everyone the same advantages ie free education and equal promotion of career studies, that not only did diversity in those fields not improve, it actually accentuated the lack of it. At what point are we gonna sit down and say "well I guess white men, white girls, brown men, brown girls, black men, black girls, asian girls, asian men, etc aren't proportionately interested in x field. And there are downsides to it, because those controlling academia are equalising the playing field by just lowering standards because they don't know what else to do, and it's all they can control anyway. The problem isn't academia or x company not taking x quota, it's the other half of the equation which is the household.

What did they mean by this?
Only Nazis think only white males can be competent workers. Clearly her implication is that ``the tech industry is a meritocracy" has become something of a thought-terminating cliche; people just assume it is true, without really looking to see whether it really is, and this results in people remaining ignorant of their implicit biases, with the end result that minority talent is frequently overlooked.
IQ is highly arbitrary, and it isn't free from bias. It's basically just ``my number is bigger than yours" circlejerking. An individual's performance in a concrete skill area, such as solving mathematical problems or coordinating a group effort, is a much better measure of their productivity as an employee.
Go back to your safespace before something triggers you. Oh wait, nevermind, you guys are always triggered about something.
>entire scientific fields Which were discredited decades ago. That's the nature of science - old theories are dropped when newer ones prove themselves superior at explaining the natural world. You can't use old theories as evidence that the new theories are wrong, the closest you can do is try to find evidence that the experimental support for the newer theories was somehow falsified, or you can provide a new theory that's superior to both the old theory and the current one. But you can't just say, ``well people used to believe this when they had less information about the universe, so it's a valid and rational belief to have today". That's basically flat earther tier reasoning.
>women have all the power When did this happen? A few decades ago it was perfectly legal for a man to rape his wife, even in supposedly ``civilized" western countries.
Henry Long
There's been countless racial studies too. cultural marxism has been thoroughly debunked by science time and time again. social sciences hand waves what they can with unverifiable theories explaining why the data isn't what they want it to be, eg 'invisible system of oppression,' 'underreporting', 'hidden privilege' 'microopression' etc.

Err, the Norweigian gender paradox as the Norweigian paradox is apparently something else involving low economic investment and high economic output. The gender paradox also GREATLY actuated male and female career choices (for example males ended up being 90% of engineers and females ended up being 90% of healthcare workers when it used to be closer to 70% or 80% each.)

Those ``experiments" really weren't conclusive, since creating a completely controlled environment isn't possible (at least, not without violating at least dozens of ethics rules). That sort of sociological research is difficult to do in general, most of it ends up being case studies full of conjecture, rather than actual controlled large-sample experiments.

Nicholas Carter
What are you even trying to say? No one's denying that there's a correlation between genetics and IQ, but rather that it has little concrete meaning since IQ literally just means ``the score you got on the IQ test". Knowing that the ability to perform well on IQ tests is heritable doesn't really provide much in the way of useful information.
Sebastian Johnson

>IQ is highly arbitrary, and it isn't free from bias No, it has very high correlation to many measurable factors, as well as genetic correlation - g is said to be more strongly correlated to genes than even height. Bias is minimal. You are talking out of your ass because it's what you want to believe.
>Which were discredited decades ago Discredited politically, sure. They're not remotely discredited within academia as scientific theories, they've only become even more well established over time. TWICE now all the major geneticists have gathered together to sign a petition pleading the people and the press to stop fucking lying about their scientific consensus, and explaining in no unclear terms what exactly is and isn't established. Yet we still get bad faith liberals like you maliciously lying just to push your unscientific propaganda.

I am not one of those edgy guys you were replying to but , I believe society should strive towards giving people the same opportunities rather than providing certain groups with advantages. That just creates the idea of entitlement among those groups which in turn makes it so that we have the retarded stuff we have right now , as in "Cars are now sexist in Sweden so men shouldn't drive cars" or "Black lives matter , but only black lives". These things don't aim for diversity and are all attempting to exterminate a certain ethnicity all because "They are racist and privileged" while in reality, all they are doing is shifting the balance towards a group that would rather have equity and that has already repented on what they have done.

Well, why didn't he study at Harvard? Is it because he didn't have the money for it? Or was he just not interested in that kind of career? You're making the mistake of assuming that IQ is invariably the cause of everything that can even be POTENTIALLY caused by IQ.
No, because part of the wage gap theory is that people consider women to be less productive workers. That's a large part of the supposed REASON for the wage gap in the first place. If a worker only does 70% as much work, they should only be paid 70% as much. You could hire more of those workers for the same price as other workers, but there wouldn't be any real increase in productivity.
Jackson Johnson
