#2Here’s a fun quote from his book, via Chip Huyen’s blog (https://huyenchip.com/2019/03/11/silicon-valley-misogyny.htm...)
> “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.”

"Most women" could be replaced with "most people" and it would be a fair statement. The modern western man/woman has become physically weak and lacks the basic skills you'd want in those sorts of situations.

"Come an epidemic plague [women] are useless baggage you'd trade for a box of shotgun shells."
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 didn't say that though — he singled out women.
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 said most people, it could be interpreted as excluding themselves just as well as including themselves. In either case, it's true. Most people would cower in the face of an invasion in the West. We've gotten too comfortable and simultaneously would not put our lives on the line over principle --including anti-fas and fas who just mainly role-play but would surrender near instantly in the face of enemy forces.
