Still trying to wrap my head around what he's trying to get at exactly (interesting that he never actually says what people in China accepted more than in the Bay Area - my bet is that it's not something about human rights in China) - but so far the only 2 things I'm getting are:
1) It somehow should be acceptable, in a dream society, to say that gay people are evil, but not to question the ethics of scientism.
2) A white dude who doesn't speak Chinese somehow finds China to be a better place for startups and freedom of speech, because there is some backlash against the technolibertarianism he peddles in his home city. Never mind that political activists routinely get executed in China and all that.
Sam seems like he has gone far into the deep end. Not sure if this what happens to your brain when you are super rich and constantly surrounded with people as rich as you, but I am struggling to make sense of it any other way.
If this had been posted by anyone else than the CEO of YCombinator, it'd have been dismissed like the drivel that it is.
