Seeking ideological heterogeneity is the truest and most desirable form of diversity. Kudos to Basecamp for recognizing that they can achieve this via geographical diversity. On the other hand, I've also seen this go the other way. Many larger tech companies like Google effectively enforce a one-size-fits-all set of company policies across all their locations. Effectively, the political culture of their headquarters is forced on all the satellite offices, squashing any potential for ideological diversity that may result from geographical diversity. In the end, I think it comes down to having the right leaders who genuinely value true diversity instead of just skin-deep diversity that is popular today.
