No private entity can ever truly ignore or be free of the state, that's what a state is to begin with.

- slowenough 7y agoI know. But the startup world exists under so many mistaken assumptions. I like to peel them back and let people see. They call me a heretic for it. But I know it's true. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Does this mean YC is not free of state interference in private organizations? I mean, why should YC blow with the prevailing political wind? Isn't profit above politics? Or is the state owned company in SV just a covert one, rather than overt, such as in China? Edit: ouch, sorry, that's gotta sting. Let me make it gentler for you. Oh wait, I can't. Too bad.
