Google Employee Slams "Anti-Conservative" Culture



A 10-page document penned by an unnamed Google engineer titled "Google's Ideological Echo Chamber", that criticizes the company's "left leaning", "anti-conservative" culture and calls for replacing Google's diversity initiatives with policies that encourage "ideological diversity" instead, has led to outrage among fellow Google employees and Silicon Valley pundits. The document, first reported by Motherboard and published in full by Gizmodo, reportedly has gone "internally viral" inside the company on Friday according to CNBC. The engineer's identity has not been revealed, but he reports to Google VP Ari Balogh, listed on Crunchbase as the company's executive VP of storage infrastructure products.

The news comes to us at the August 7, Full Moon eclipse. A chart for the lunar eclipse drawn for Mountain View, CA, the location of Google’s headquarters, is shown here. Notice that the eclipse and the nodal axis are anchored through aspects to the Jupiter-Zeus-Kronos-Pluto T-square, which itself is significantly placed on the angles.

We will first examine the Leo (North Node)-Aquarius (South Node) nodal axis. As always, the general rule is that the eclipse requires that we use the South Node sign which represents the past while seeking to incorporate the positive qualities of the North Node sign which represents the future that we must head towards. Though Aquarius is often described as a sign that embraces alternative philosophies and diverse viewpoints, it does have a regressive side, too. (Aquarius's traditional ruler is Saturn, after all.) Left to its own devices, Aquarius can fall prey to believing it knows what's best for everyone… devising ideologies and organizing-systems that reserve all players their fair swath of freedom, yet discouraging anyone from shining too bright an individuating light, lest they diverge too sharply from the aims it presumes we collectively share. Therefore, a South Node Aquarius can refer to individuals who did not quite make it in the past, perhaps they were overpowered by the groups to which they belonged. With the North Node in Leo, it is time to roar! To be heard! This eclipse is about finishing the business from long ago. It is time to find a way to make a positive difference in the lives of those who ignored them in the past.  

Next we turn our attention to the  Jupiter-Pluto square on the angles. If Pluto in Capricorn  refers  to institutions that are decaying or perhaps compromised, the square from Jupiter in Libra seeks to interrupt the strategies and stances which those institutions have long relied on to provide them structure and stability. It welcomes us to openly engage in dialogue about what's broken, with the various stakeholders whose needs currently aren't being effectively met and/or who might have some novel suggestions for how to improve or refine the governing master-plan so it better addresses the divergent concerns of a wider audience.

Perhaps, the Sabian symbol[1] for Jupiter and TNP Zeus on the Ascendant says it all.

Phase 198: Two men under arrest
When individuals try to reform an established order they may be punished by that order.  For individuals the challenge is how to make their transforming vision acceptable to society. The fact that two men are under arrest suggests a polarization and a purpose transcending a mere fit of recklessness. Negative as the image may seem, one may see implied in it the power in every individual to assume social risks in order to express his convictions even if he has to face the consequences.
