        Yes, there’s also dumb & evil stuff happening in SV. But @slatestarcodex post attempted to quantify how much of that vs. worthwhile.

        Gray areas are uninteresting. Polarization is where journalistic potential lies!

        Consider: you're talking about a scene set in 1991, in an alternate universe, where the conflict involves archangels.

        People shoot at SV because it's a perfect microcosm of educated, inherited-wealth elites, in a situation where the default is getting rich.

        Pretty good post, but I'd have liked to see words like "solutionism", "monopoly", "destroying public services", "Theranos", "President Zuck"

        This has a weird magical thinking premise: if you critique something, you sorta generated that negative reality by focusing attention on it.
