Incidentally, I think this post by @joshtpm on "The Brittle Grip" from 2014 best covers how I think about things like @sama's posthttp://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-brittle-grip-part-2 …

C'mon, sama, pg, et al. have a robust hold on wealth/power/etc. The post was about heresy = unorthodoxy, vs. a "church-state orthodoxy" enforced by penal code. Sounds exaggerated, but IMHO it is worth looking at covert/sub-violent means to same end. Also at _cui bono_, as usual.

I don't think there's a whole lot of heresy along the lines of his original post ("doing something the government had already decided was too hard") in practice in SV. If he wants to discuss actual heterodoxies that he thinks actually exist and are dangerous, let's enumerate.

But also let's be honest, Silicon Valley is becoming the next Wall Street.
-
Also "government" is not doing basic research or many similarly hard R&D things it used to do (cold war era), and neither is SV. It's up to Musk & China at this point.

Which is sad! And probably heretical to silicon valley VCs
