I shifted my focus from selling my book (using Gumroad, the platform he built) to growing a VC-backed company (which he invested in). We still disagree on some things I’m sure, but everyone could learn a lot and quickly by getting out of his or her bubble.

Liberal vs conservative is a false dichotomy promoted by the two major political parties to give us the illusion of choice. The real question is authoritarian vs libertarian. This is an interesting discussion to instead have, when “conservative” is next mentioned in conversation

Sahil - sounds like your politics/views moved more towards open-mindedness and a bit towards the middle (for reference I feel like Austen is pretty in the middle). I wonder if you could have gotten the same outcome by switching your circles up in SF

I def understand it’d take more will-power to do that, rather than pulling the trigger on moving cities. I just feel like SF is a better place for differing views to mingle and learn from each other

it helps but doesn't take into account the learnings of a diff political environment. it's not just the people, it's the infrastructure and history (from founding) of a place.

I'd say it's impressive that
@shl managed to erect a bubble within bubble after fleeing a bubble, but it's not. 14% of 116K is still 16K, and he didn't waste time ferreting out the McMullin/Clinton crowd. We can at least agree on this last bit (at least the highlighted portion).pic.twitter.com/K8N69rF69g
