RE: Some Thoughts on "So, about this Googler’s manifesto" by Yonatan Zunger

The universe does not hear the word NO.

So, instead of saying something positive, such as "Build Great Things", they chose a phrase that would make them the company that the CIA wanted them to be. "Don't Be Evil." Which, the universe, and your sub conscious turns into

Do Be Evil.

In which they are. Getting people killed and imprisoned in China, just so they can have market share? Filtering out specific people from the search results.
They are being evil.


I do not assume about quotas and hiring, I speak from experience of quotas and hiring.

Or how frustrating it is to work on code where she named all the variables after her cats.

It is not that women can't, its that hiring standards are lowered to make quota.

A typical story from an engineering company. 100s of resumes from men, 3 from women. And two of them are completely not qualified for the position.

And, so, this "toxic environment" that women get to complain about, men are actually experiencing. Do not talk to women, do not compliment women, have a pocket recorder going whenever work has you dealing with a woman. And further, because of those lowered standards for hiring, men are the ones left to pick up the slack.

Sort:  

The universe does not hear the word NO.

Statements like this sound ridiculous to me and make it hard for me to take you seriously.

Well, its a universal law.
It doesn't care if you believe in it or not.

Everyone ,who makes affirmations work for them, knows about this. And it is really important in self-talk.

And with Boogle, I say the results speak for themselves.
It will not be long now before Boogle destroys itself, as evil always does.

Here is an article about working with your subconscious/unconscious.
It talks about how it doesn't hear no.

Does not process negatives: The unconscious absorbs pictures rather than words. So if you say, “I don’t want to procrastinate,” the unconscious generates a picture of you procrastinating. Switching that picture from the negative to the positive takes an extra step. Better to tell your unconscious, “Let’s get to work!”

So, when you read boogle's sign "Don't be Evil" you are programming yourself to "Be Evil".
