A few reasons Tim Ferriss decided to leave SV (his own words)

True. It's funny because looking back over 40 or 50 years, SV is a great example of how that happens. Best wishes for my Texas friends. I really liked Austin when I first visited in the late 90s. Visiting again last month, it was still rocking, but distinctly got the feeling that it's well on its way to the same kind of climate that's already pervasive in the valley.

idk if mccarthyism is the right analogy. but there is certainly a huge social and career cost to expressing an honest opinion. i'm making alot of money doing nothing, you're making alot of money doing nothing, look at how happy and important we all are, dont make this complicated, its very rude.

Yeah - op - I sure don't think it's been posted?

Sometimes HN blocks articles it disagrees with. Kind of sucks. This is exactly why this conversation is relevant.

I get blocking hateful comments, but this a a real conversation presenting real ideas from a recognized and informed observer.
