    One of the most dangerous ideas to conservative politicians: that it is not a coincidence startup hubs are so liberal.

        @paulg and so is Washington DC. I'm not sure that proves anything.

        @paulg Khan's a worthy endeavor that is not liberal. It's a modern day church dedicated to the god of education, not govt redistribution.

        @mp3michael What I meant was, you're conflating necessary and sufficient conditions.

        @paulg the free market provides education more cost effectively and precisely than the govt. See your Khan example and coding bootcamps.

        @paulg there are counterexamples. Utah is conservative and decent for startups for size. Crazy liberal places often are not (Portland?)

        @octal IIRC Portland is doing pretty well.

        @paulg sort of, should be better. I think it is "socially liberal" vs what we think of as politically liberal, though.

        @paulg which elements of liberalism would you say are the important ones on this front?

        @kareems Off the top of my head, tolerance for oddness. But it would take an essay to figure this out properly.

        @paulg As are most top Universities, scientists, actors etc. Lots of "elite" things. As Colbert said "Reality has a well known liberal bias"

        @paulg @rtfeldman you may be surprised to hear that many prominent ppl in SV have been accused libertarian. Also feminists are not happy.

        @paulg not sure I've (a) ever heard that monolithic claim before, and (b) certainly never heard a conservative pol worry about it. #rethink
