Startup culture has become far too memetic, especially in Silicon Valley
Great startup ideas are usually contrarian, otherwise, someone would have built it already
How do you stay contrarian when everyone reads the same things, everyone posts the same memes about the Kardeshev scale or whatever, and everyone goes to the same AI meetups?
You can ask 10 people in Silicon Valley what their heretical ideas are and they’ll all say the same predictable things

This is a "free Melania" fantasy by the people trying to cope with the fact that 47% of white women voters in the US are "pro life," and more than 50% of white women voters, vote for Trump.
The US is always trying to downplay the role white women play in racism.

There are people in Nikki's mentions still trying to claim that gang members are more dangerous to women and girls than incels.🤦🏿♂️
"Not like Us" has been playing on repeat all year... Did y'all really not understand any of it?

But they are largely incels. Pretending that it is a crisis for men to be lonely, and ignoring the violence directed at women coming out of incel circles is exactly how we got here.

I said what I said about Antonio Brown.
He played 7 years in the NFL without incident.
Then he suffered devastating brain injuries.
Now he exhibits textbook signs of CTE: irrational, self-destructive behavior, low impulse control.

Easy to say:
Antonio Brown is such a Diva! He has character issues!
Harder:
Antonio Brown played *7 years* in the NFL without major off-field issues. Then he took some particularly devastating concussions. Now he's displaying *textbook* CTE symptoms and irrational behavior.

Antonio Brown didn't die on this hit. He's still alive.

But if you knew Antonio Brown growing up? Or knew him in his first 7 years in the league? I'm sorry for your loss. That man is gone.
This is a different man.

Those Burfict concussions occured after AB had already played 7 years as a high production wife receiver... In a helmet that even the NFL has deemed unsafe.
Hard to watch. TW: A man experiencing permanent brain damage.

There are 900 Black NFL players. 1 in 10 Black men is a Trump supporter. That means that there are almost 100 Black NFL players that support Trump. This is fine. Let brothers be wrong.
What's not fine, is y'all acting like 90 is more than 810.
Be serious.

"Ethics is a waste of time! Ignore!"🤡
- Dude now doing federal years for ethics violations.
"OMG! These people don't want to save the world! These people all just want to get filthy rich!" 🤡
- Dude literally attending a school where they train investment bankers.

The cons of not seeming liberal is so high, elite Americans just fake it. They:
— Promote body positivity but judge fat people
— Discuss sustainability but do hard drugs
— "want to make the world a better place" then do consulting / banking
SBF said it best: "Ethics is a dumb play where we say all the right shibboleths so people will like us"

I'm not conservative, but if I was, I wouldn't want to be judged based on the actions of people like SBF.
Conservatives insult themselves when they define conservative to mean unethical, money obsessed, dishonest, environmentally short-sighted, sexist, racist people noone likes.

Millions of people manage to be conservative without being racist, sexist, or transphobic. They are conservative without being unethical business pests, or trying to overthrow the US government. 👍🏿
It's not hard.
No one is persecuted "for being conservative."

1. Women cannot exist online safely in a place with no real blocking.
2. Why would y'all want to be in a place with no women?
Y'all are weird.

None. Assuming no friction to get one, no drawbacks.
Which is the point. 🤷🏿♂️
The whole point of voter ID conversations, is to get non-racist, normal people to say, "I dunno, seems reasonable?" About some super racist , not-normal stuff.
That's the goal.

🤔If I told you that in 1944 Adolf Hitler ran the most sophisticated and successful space rocket program on earth, would that change your opinion of him? Should it?
Would that make you think Adolf was a rocket scientist? Or do you know Wernher von Braun was the rocket scientist?

We see from this real example, that post world War II, after the Nazis were defeated, that Wernher von Braun kept making rockets, at the same pace.
It appears that the magic sauce, was "the world's best rocket scientists, with sufficient resources," not "fascist philosophy."
