Uh oh, Sam has been "red pilled".
Without providing more examples/specifics, it just reads as a tirade against the boogeyman of "political correctness".
Is he upset that the SF crowd rejected Peter Thiel for endorsing Trump? Or is he upset that Brendan Eich was forced out of Mozilla? Who knows? He's being so coy.
- alehul 9y agoHe provided examples, and judging by the response on HN, it's a common issue people feel. You should take the strongest form of the argument to debate, not the weakest. It would contribute more if you gave your response to why you disagree with the necessity of fully dispelling bad ideas through reasoned debate, or why you disagree that we have to accept the existence of bad or 'wacky' ideas without ostracizing the person altogether in order to have the good ideas.
- olympus 9y agoMaybe he doesn't want to give the specific example that he's thinking of because he doesn't want to be ostracized by people that automatically assume that he's now a Trump lover. That was the entire point of his post.
