- jerlam 9mo agoThe only contrarian, just like everyone else.
- siltcakes 9mo agoHe and Paul Graham, truly are the only people speaking out against Zionism though. The rest of the VC industry is either staunchly pro-Israel or silent on the matter.
- JumpCrisscross 9mo ago> He and Paul Graham, truly are the only people speaking out against Zionism Not sure what about this is contrarian.
- siltcakes 9mo agoGoing against everyone in your industry is contrarian. There are countless threads where Masad is attacked by mainstream venture capitalists and called "antisemitic" or "terrorist". Same with paulg.
- yoavm 9mo agoThat kinda depends on what questions the industry revolves around, doesn't it? For example, if I was once of the only vegetarian at YC, I don't think it would make me a contrarian. And it especially wouldn't if my background was of a Vegetarian-based religion.
- siltcakes 9mo agoBeing against genocide and land theft is the correct side obviously.
