Why The Google Staffer's "Manifesto" Is Actually A Good Thing

Political correctness has gone too far and feelings got hurt at Google.

The version of a recent Google staffer's manifesto berated the Silicon Valley company for it's radical, stifling groupthink atmosphere of political correctness. His feelings were hurt, but come on, Google wanted diversity.

It's crazy to think that an authoritative, monoculture almost, almost, took over Silicon Valley. The times are changing, and for some, too rapidly; in this whirlwind, dominating political climate, the ideas of a few conservatives are allegedly being "silenced," and excluded from the super liberal, "ideological echo chamber" that is not just Google, but the entire United States of America as well. Damned political correctness has gone too far in this country, and I'm glad to see that conservatives are finally stepping up against diversity advocates and affirmative actioners.

We need to face the truth: women are just biologically inferior to men. And these diversity initiatives just stifle real, corporate and intellectual productivity. It's time to think about what really matters here: are these developmental, coding classes at Google targeted strictly to minorities really going to make a change in the world of coding? Moreover, on a larger scale, is the promotion of "nice words" really going to make a difference? I don't know if I'm convinced, and I'm sure as hell sick of biting my tongue.

Luckily, Mr. Angry-because-he-wasn't-invited-to-the-cool-kid's-sleepover Google Staffer has offered a few suggestions as to how we can stop this monstrous groupthink, which makes conservatives upset.

"De-moralize diversity." Yes, why should this be a moral issue? Some folks just don't belong, and why should we care if our crayon box is only one color. Who wants a box of 64 Crayola crayons?

"Stop alienating conservatives." This should have gone without saying, an almost unspoken rule. Our ideological echo chamber promotes diversity, so why would we ban an opinion that speaks the truth (i.e. women are just not as great as men). Jeeze.

"Stop restricting programs and classes to certain genders or races." Everyone else got to go to Sarah's birthday except me, and that's not fair!

"Be open about the science of human nature." Yes, as Calvin Candy in "Django Unchained" pointed out to his African American dinner guest, some people are just born less and are incapable of doing and uninterested in what men do.

It's so comforting to know that this lovely Google staffer has taken a stance against liberalism and monoculturism. To think, we were almost going to progress as a society. But, we have conservatives, to use his words, who "tend to be higher in conscientiousness" to guide us through these trying, inclusive times.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
