It’s your honest belief that the responses you’ve got from people of color, women, and LGBT folks are a pretense? That you know better than we do what we’re trying to communicate? Hmm. Why not just say D&I is an effort you want to stop?

Should we revive slavery, because that was definitely an Enlightenment-era institution that existed during the late 17th to early 19th centuries that was intimately tied to the economies and generated the wealth of the West?

You should read
@DrIbram’s book. Just because it was used in other societies before doesn’t excuse how it just coincidentally metastasized into a global economic system during that exact period and created the wealth that gave Europeans the freedom/leisure to generate these ideas1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Been following this thread and funnily agree on a lot w both of you. Kim - Curious what you think PG should have done differently when he listed a few longtime most successful investors of our time. Not listing his wife was likely a conscious choice. Her record is stellar obvio.

I think it was mostly the Jessica thing. I didn't even know about that thread until other people DM-ed me and was like WHAT ABOUT JESSICA? For better and for worse, PG is a symbol at this point bc YC is so influential. So people do parse his words carefully.

-- especially because he keeps writing about things he's not allowed to say, which makes a lot of people suspicious. Because -- what in the current environment where our country's leader is literally making Trail of Tears jokes -- can people not say?

That’s reasonable. Shouldn’t actions matter more than a tweet when it comes to PG’s influence & power? YC is the best playing field leveler we have got. You think him not enlisting Livingston is the issue or how he reacted to someone suggesting he should list women?

if you have 1M followers, it is statistically likely that some percentage of your 1M followers will disagree with something about everything you say. But most people with 1M followers don't act like a snowflake when this happens. It's just part of the deal.
