Its hard to think of a more homogenous industry / group of individuals than the HN / SV startup founder clique.

The length that people will go to to pretend that it isnt another rich boys club that leans somewhat conservative (sorry "libertarian") is interesting in itself.

Did you mean to say "more homogenous"

I did thanks, editing mistake

You mean more homogenous right?

Yeah, nah.

Homogenous = "from the same origin" Root word: genesis.

Homogeneous = "of the same kind". Root word: the Latin gens, clan.

Thanks for the etymology lesson, I didn't even know they were two different words.

If they meant undifferentiated, then it’s homogeneous.
