    The risk/reward of Twitter gets worse as you gain followers. Possible positive: lots of people agree with you. Maybe someone wants to meet you. Possible negative: you get fired and people start to boycot and protest everything you touch. I do not blame @pmarca for laying low

        I tweet because I learn, I meet people, I discover holes in my thinking, and I gain an audience that helps Lambda School. Money has never really been an issue at Lambda, mostly because of how we structure our business behind the scenes. But there are lots of other things to solve

        Intolerant minorities create mobs on the offense. Centrists just want to get along and don’t rally on the defense. @nntaleb explained why outrage mobs and political correctness are systemic:https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dictatorship-of-the-small-minority-3f1f83ce4e15 …

        What makes the minorities more or less intolerant than the majority other than fewer people agree? Conversely, there’s plenty of history to show majorities can be pretty intolerant.

        I think for too long we completely disregarded minorities, and now we’re so tuned in that we risk taking marching orders from relative extremists. Pendulum swing? Hard to say

        I suppose you can make any case by picking the right historic examples but I can’t imagine things are worse now than “ever before”.

        I think minorities are more powerful now than they have been on the past. Most of the time that’s probably a good thing.

        If you are thinking about the US we are also demographically (one dimension) less of a majority than ever before at the national level and in some large areas.

        If you out yourself in a position that the outraged can damage your career, or silence you, then you put yourself in a position that the outraged can ruin your career, or silence you.

        Being successful and/or influential puts you in that category by default. Interestingly I think Trump was one of the first people to turn a blind eye to that and actually accept that the outraged mob was a relatively powerless minority (at least as far as electoral college goes)

        Trump was elected the public. Marc is in the image business, ruled by a self imposed outraged dictatorship of the politically correct. Marc can no longer say what he thinks, and its our loss. You cant be a contrarian without making mistakes, and the outraged forgive no mistake.

        For context, the mis-tweet of Pmarca was pretty egregious, Indians were right to get angry, but I was surprised when that wasn't enough for him to return to twitter. Must have been intense. The British really did f*** India. He apologized and removed tweet.pic.twitter.com/sybxY6r7gj

        @naval that’s another thing. Maybe Marc was wrong and regretted it. Speaking into a megaphone all day and being contrarian that’s bound to happen. The more you tweet the more likely it becomes. But we’ve made it an unforgivable sin to ever say one thing that’s off
