> “Most women in the Bay Area are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit. They have their self-regarding entitlement feminism, and ceaselessly vaunt their independence, but the reality is, come the epidemic plague or foreign invasion, they’d become precisely the sort of useless baggage you’d trade for a box of shotgun shells or a jerry can of diesel.”
I’m also not sure if his stance on privacy will fit in well at Apple:
> “Most people don’t care about privacy. Media elites care about it, underemployed Eurocrats care about it. And the entire privacy-industrial complex — there’s an entire set of very loud voices who are constantly beating the drum and building media careers around this.”
Also, what do you think about a person who says such a thing? Even if he had used most people I think many of us would assume that the author somehow believes that they themselves are not weak — are superior to most everyone else in the Valley.
He has also claimed that many others in the Valley see him as self-deprecating. I sure don't see it in statements like the above.
If he ends up in a hospital with covid he should have the guts to say that to the healthcare staff (70% female). That useless baggage of a group actually showed up to work, risked their health, and took care of people. If only they could be like this guy during an epidemic plague. You know, not "full of shit".
He’s contrasting them with his girlfriend who he thinks would be very resourceful in the apocalypse.
The take away from the book, is this guy is an epic self entitled self important d bag.
