GNOME announced an interim director of Richard Littauer, who joined last week.
Holly’s resignation appears to be personal, as she intends to pursue a PhD in Psychology.
WTF does someone’s spiritual beliefs and practices have to do with how well they are able to run an organisation? That’s an ad hominem argument. My country has a Christian prime minister at the moment but oh noes, I’m a non-religious hippy ‘witch’ so I guess our prime minister should step down because he believes in a pseudoscientific giant bearded man that lives in the sky and goes to an expensive building every week to speak magic words in unison with other cult members to call a special spirit to bless everyone that believe the exact same doctrines…
You should not accuse me of fallacies when I have not even argued that… My contempt is due to her actions. Using your example, if I have a problem that requires a healthcare professional, I don’t think your prime minister would try to sell me things that have been proven useless but pretending otherwise, such as energy healing or homeopathy. Far from just beliefs, there is a big difference when one is actively harming others, especially for profit and there is information available about it.
Do you have any sources? Not trying to imply anything, I just don’t know anything about it, and I’d be interested to do a little reading.
Holly holds a Master of Arts in Education from Stanford University and a Bachelor of Arts in English from Harvard University. Her academic background, combined with her extensive professional journey, equips her with a unique perspective that will undoubtedly contribute to the growth and success of the GNOME Foundation.
From the Gnome Foundation page about her. I am genuinely struggling to:
- Understand how a self-described shaman artist (who also sells “energy cleansing” services) is qualified to be director of anything but her own business ventures.
- Understand how a person with a background in education and English is qualified to direct a foundation.
Like FFS, do they just let anybody in?
