dissent is punished, whether carefully argumented, politely constructed to avoid hurting sensibilities, or blunt. I have noticed a comnon pattern here that leads to high praises: on the negative aide: being dismissive of cryogeny, of crypto currency, of China ; on the positive side: being pro regulations, pro social programs, etc. My exploration is that the arguments are unsound, and emotionally driven. I remember someone explaining without shame that their hatred of Huawei was because of Nortel problems in Canada (!!) It seems very weird to me. I believe a lot of people here are in technology because it is trendy. They have limited passion on the subject. They have links to their websites on their profile, and seem to mostly seek networking, and parroting generally accepted things to avoid any objections or controversy. I respect that difference. I am here to read thought provoking innovative content, and write interesting discussions with interesting people. I do not wish to lie about my sensitivies, but I take no umbrage to different opinions. Difference leads to innovation! I find that mostly in the "new" section. Good enough for me.
