slvconserv··on Silicon Valley's Keystone Problem: A Monoculture of Thought
The New York Times is unable to write the truth here for fear of offending their readers: The monoculture in Silicon Valley is that of hyper liberal people. This is so obviously the case and they are going so far out of their way here to not mention it one can only conclude that they are attempting to mislead deliberately.

The reason the New York Times can’t say “Silicon Valley is completely 100% liberal and that is a serious problem” is because most Liberal people genuinely believe they are the disruptive punk rockers who are fighting against the evil forces of darkness. In reality, being Liberal is highly homogenous and unoriginal.

But if you write that down as the Times, you immediately become a target for political attack. So they take the easy road here which is vaguely mentioning some foggy, abstract term “monoculture.”

We know what monoculture means. It isn’t a conservative republican monoculture.

I work in this industry, 90% of my coworkers and colleagues universally agree and emphatically support diversity of all types. They talk about it all the time, hold diversity workshops etc. nothing much has changed.

So get out of here with this fake monoculture Orwellian nonsense.
