Why on earth would that outlet censor itself on what questions to ask? Silicon Valley doesn’t care that much about traditional media anymore. Wasn’t your whole point that interesting and important conversations could be had outside the techlash framework?

I’m just saying the industry is just as much prone to groupthink as any other bunch of humans and has a lot of blindspots. And wealthy smart and successful people can be both less and more prone—topic dependent.

It’s connected. It’s the drama of a falling gatekeeper in a world where center-directed advertising is no longer a viable business model and where everyone has pocket cameras that make it impossible to compartmentalize truths about state-sanctioned violence. See that’s important.

All the navel-gazing and gossip froth—not important. But there’s a very important shift underfoot. Exactly what I mean about the void.

Great conversation -- there's incredible idea diversity in SV but very limited ideological diversity. That's of course the exact reason why ideas move into action so quickly but creates a very homogenous worldview.
