Anil DashOne thing I think about sometimes is the time a decade or so ago when the editor of the MIT Tech Review scolded me for being critical of Milo Yiannopolis because Milo “went to a good school” (some British shit that probably means a lot to them but I can’t even remember what it was) and therefore couldn’t actually be awful. That was one of those turning points where I realized I would never actually get elevated to a certain level of culture or visibility, and I was quite content with that.
JP@anildash the first thing i ever saw by him was this piece and golly, even deeper than the white supremacy and other awfulness, this is really who he is on a fundamental level, and there are plenty of people out there who are playing the same game - that MIT tech review guy, probably - even if they don't hold the exact same horrid views. https://www.businessinsider.com/why-i-rank-my-friends-2014-4
