His "references" are mostly Wikipedia links.

I wish he had posted the anti-echo-chamber parts on their own, instead of using them to decorate an argument on gender differences.

I agree they weren't the best references available.

I doubt he expected this to blow up like it did; I imagine a Harvard PhD candidate would have provided better references if he'd known it would be public.

It's weird, but this is all pretty well known stuff in the fields from which he refers. And, as obsessed as we are with instilling diversity in everything, why even common people don't know these things who knows?
