That's not "paraphrased". You just blatantly made that up. What he actually wrote is you should not silence them.
> if you disagree with society on the base axioms of it, you should leave it
So why don't you?
>By your argument, you should be able to rally in the streets and protest for allowing child cannibalism, too
By your logic, you should be able to commit genocide and we should have to applaud you for it.
See, I can also make up shit out of thin air.
>There are certain moral axioms a society is based on
Yes, such as non-discrimation. Which is what he writes:
"treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group "
"Stop restricting programs and classes to certain genders or races."
"Discriminating .. is misguided "
Anyway, stop with your moral outrage based on nothing but yourself. If you see horrible things everywhere, but can't actually show any of them except by "paraphrasing" (i.e. making shit up out of thin air), maybe the problem is with you, not with others.
I'm not the one going against all of society by holding a fringe opinion.
> See, I can also make up shit out of thin air.
I didn't make shit up. You said any possible statement should be discussed logically, there should be no opinion that we should disregard just based on axioms, as that would silence parts of the political spectrum.
> Yes, such as non-discrimation. Which is what he writes:
And yet he says that having conservatives is something that is a value just in itself, and that Google should strive to have more conservatives.
I'm not making shit up out of thin air, that's specifically what he argued.
Or what purpose does the paragraph praising conservatives so overly awesome mental abilities, and he paragraph saying that having people from all political spectrums is a value in itself, serve, if not as a call to action?
He is specifically calling for more conservative employees at Google.
Hell, he specifically called for registering all democrats and conservatives at Google.
Are you seriously that ideologically blinded that you can't see a political discrimination when it's staring you into the eye?
I am? "You need to have conservatives to have a balanced view, hire more of them" (paraphrased from the attract more conservatives part) isn't something I've ever said.
> On a more meta level, you seem to think that because you profess adherence the correct beliefs, the right "Axioms", you are freed from the burdens of proper analysis
False. But I think that if you disagree with society on the base axioms of it, you should leave it.
By your argument, you should be able to rally in the streets and protest for allowing child cannibalism, too.
It's just an opinion, too, nothing wrong with it. If people want it, we should just let them.
No thanks.
There are certain moral axioms a society is based on, if you disagree with them you can leave. (For example, the German constitution has an eternity clause, making some basic axioms of society immutable for eternity)
