Google, Diversity, and Silicon Valley's Political Tribalism -- Colin's Last Stand (Episode 35)
A Google employee was recently fired for writing a rather innocuous, internally-circulated document about the company’s drive for diversity. So let’s use this opportunity to talk about why diversity for diversity’s sake is silly, and why pure meritocracy can, should -- and hopefully will -- win the day.
This video revolves around a "Memo" that circulated at Google, which you can find in its entirety here: https://diversitymemo.com/
