Clearly wants someone to hire him to make a right search engine.Shouldn't he be trying to find a job instead of trying to prolong his 5 minutes?

Personally, I think "Emperor of Mankind" is much cooler. That's why I joined this nerdy Warhammer 40k club.
I listened to this guy on a few podcasts and he just seemed like a hapless idiot. Smart about some things but totally clueless about society.
His whole point was "maybe the reason why women are underrepresented in tech is natural ability". And he seems to think that inclusivity initiatives only exist to correct for this natural effect which doesn't need to be or can't be corrected for.
Nowhere does he seem to understand that this is irrelevant. Diversity initiatives are to encourage a balanced workforce... whatever the reasons. Because it's good for company to be diverse. Let's say there are reasons why women are less interested in tech.... big whoop. Overcome those reasons. You will make better software with a more representative slice of humanity.
I guess on topic the KKK names post is very in keeping with how dimwitted he is socially, but I wouldnt agree with some "secret Nazi!!" view. He's just a dope.
I think he's writing a book now? So go where the audience is I guess. Gotta milk that 15 minutes of shame.He's partnered with the alt-right.
Free Speech is the mutual contract. He never condones the alt-right, seeks their protection, and moderates their arguments without thinking about alternatives. He may as well be.

Merlin is cool. Gandalf is cool. Being some racist in a white hood pretending to be a wizard is lame AF. In his defense he starts off by saying the KKK sucks and just thinks the names are cool, but given the trouble he got into he should be more careful about the topics he talks about. For the record, did anyone here even read his memo that got him in trouble?
If those names weren't from the KKK they'd be the name of ranks in some dorky fantasy novel, so no, they would never be cool.
Joe Rogan? Or do you mean Damore"I'm just asking questions."
Even if the names were cool (which they obviously aren't), his argument still makes no sense. People not acknowledging the coolness of the KKK lore is going to somehow make innocent kids more likely to get recruited? What kind of person who really really likes using fantasy names is going to choose to join the Klan instead of just LARPing or some shit?

This was what made it really obvious to spot GamerGators on here years ago. Hey guys, I dont know what this but have you heard about it? I think they got some good ideas, just sayingI'm saying this is the alt-right's method for posting blatantly bigoted shit while simultaneously maintaining the "plausible deniability" of wanting to engage in an honest exchange of ideas. "I'm not saying I support the KKK, I'm just asking questions."
Basically, it's the new dog whistle.

Right. That isn't my point. I asked why. I don't know James Damore. All I know is he said something that seems like a throwaway comment comparable to, "Nazis are horrible but they sure did have a cool color scheme."
It's why I was curious.
I mean it just seems like the guy is just jokingly saying that being dubbed, "a grand wizard" is pretty cool.
I guess he's done something in the past to get him immediate vitriol, so I'll just bandwagon and hate on him like the rest.
Indeed.I'm saying this is the alt-right's method for posting blatantly bigoted shit while simultaneously maintaining the "plausible deniability" of wanting to engage in an honest exchange of ideas. "I'm not saying I support the KKK, I'm just asking questions."

I was reading this doujinshi the other day that used the term. A Wizard in Japanese slang is a male virgin over 30. The story alleged that a virgin over 40 is promoted to grand wizard and is sent to a fantasy realm.

It sounds like the guy is a hardcore D&D fan, which might shed some light on his thought processes. I ama fan of tabletop gaming, but you don't have to look far to see a whole ton of problematic and toxic sides to the hobby. Misogyny and racism were buried deep in the roots of the hobby, and it remains a hobby where large segments of the fanbase rabidly resist change. A decade ago, when I still heavily followed forums dedicated to D&D, there were still people regularly having discussions about whether or not male and female chatacters should have different stat bonuses and other similar topics. I have no doubt that there are still D&D websites where that is still a common subject of discussion.Dude ain't slick
