Noam, Noam, Noam! Whatever are we to think of (((you)))?
Yes, some comprehensive intellectual spinnability you have, yet your

SciAmerican: Google Engineer Fired for Sexist Memo Isn't a Hero

He presents himself as a courageous defender of truth.
Google, in contrast, is an "echo chamber" that is "intolerant
of scientific debate and reasoned argument." Damore notes that
Noam Chomsky, the linguist and social critic, once wrote: "The
smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly
limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very
lively debate within that spectrum." But Chomsky has
expressed abhorrence for research into cognitive differences
between different groups. In his 1987 book Language and
Problems of Knowledge Chomsky wrote: "Surely people differ in
their biologically determined qualities. The world would be
too horrible to contemplate if they did not. But discovery of
a correlation between some of these qualities is of no
scientific interest and of no social significance, except to
racists, sexists and the like."
