I think the nut of his mistake is that if you don't ask people to tone down their response to the Damore memo, the environment will be hostile to SpaceX and Bitcoin. And come on you cover Silicon Valley. SV is plenty fine with that kind of idea.

I didn’t interpret his post that way.
-
His post claims that: 1. You would not do SpaceX in SV today because "doing something the government had already decided was too hard" is heretical 2. You have to have a zero tolerance policy for "heresy" because it causes 1.
-
But (1) is actually false, and people strongly disagreeing with something en masse is not the same thing as "heresy"

@ultrasaurus take a look at his clarification post: http://blog.samaltman.com/a-clarification This is my thinking as well. Thoughts? -
It is not my experience in SF that reasoned discussions of controversial issues are banned. I often express unpopular and controversial opinions and sometimes feel that there are risks in doing so, but I fear anonymous internet trolls much more than the people who live in SF.

None of my comments are meant to distract from the very real problem of online harassment, incl. anonymous internet trolls.
