Is it actually diverse, though? I honestly have yet to read any of these guys say anything that can’t be reduced to “I have had a thought but you won’t like it! But! There’s nothing you can do! I am going to speak it! Here it comes!” Then they say something utterly banal?https://twitter.com/plinz/status/997177939304374273 …
What is the difference between good values and bad values? Do you know people that you deeply respect but that have bad values, and do you know people that oppose your politics yet have good values?

This obviously leaves a lot to unpack, as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ are shorthand for more nuanced subjective perspectives. But: as a general rule for myself, a value is bad if it causes unnecessary suffering for others.
