[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been wondering this myself. What are these secret off limit discussions? Iq realism? Genetic realism? Crime stats realism? Beliefs in the superiority of one culture or religion (altho he’s atheist so that can’t be the case for him)? [/quote]

As someone who works in private equity, I will say that there’s generally a pervasive PE/VC view that having to hire or make pipeline programs for certain URM generally does not get you the best people.

There are certain racial stereotypes that these guys think are accurate:
South Asians and certain Asians are the best engineers and coders. You want them bringing their people to your organization, if you are a founder. 
White guys who played lacrosse and went to Stanford or Harvard can often talk to talk and walk the walk that helps get your company another funding round. You’re going to want those guys in the room too.

There are certain things that are not politically correct to say, but they’re who you want. Other pipelining /URM programs rarely have the same benefits or results. Hard to find URM unicorns.  And so, DEI has been an abject failure in SV’s mind and breeds mediocrity. And the fact that Democrats embraced DEI, showed how disconnected they are from business.

In this view, Democrats don’t understand or even want real innovation. They like the status quo. SV is anti-status quo across the board. Dems wanted to control AI with government regulatory capture, blocking free markets. This was a big problem and why SV ran into Trump’s arms.

SV believes the Biden administration was trying to destroy the future of BigTech. Their biggest concern is that the modern Dem party is anti-capitalist. Anti-founder - they don’t even want founders innovating, building, making.

They believe that there was a giant shift and something happened to the Democratic Party after Obama? Hijacked by socialists after Black Lives Matter in that the issues Dems care about will never be conducive to American business. And because of that they lost support of almost almost everyone who counts in Silicon Valley. It will be hard to win back.

That’s it. In a nutshell.

Spot on.

Also, to add to this, they’ve done a complete reverse on considering Democrats the party of education, and this is a group that values rigorous education. [/quote]
