"Please, before you throw in your lot with him, consider how ridiculous the analogy OP made here is. The Google Manifesto is manifestly not A Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems."

Aaronson doesn't mention Google or Damore.

Indeed not. Aaronson is talking about the general case when there are things you can't say that are indeed true. This is useful, because if you can come to correct conclusions for the general case, these conclusions will be useful in instances of that case.

Scott Aaronson is highly unlikely going to be siding with someone using pseudoscience to push their victim agenda.

It's a great insult to the victims of Church oppression in the middle ages and of Soviet policy to compare their hardships to the "hardships" of men working at Google.

Perhaps if you were hoping for comments here not to mention it, now was a bad time to post it.
