“Silicon Valley” is a culture not just a physical location.

That’s like saying you can be a New Yorker without living in New York. Just ain’t possible. Culture comes from circumstances, weather, geography, history and so many other things. Something is always lost when you try to copy it without the context.

Something - but apparently not enough in this case.

First thing that came to mind: Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. Read the Carreyrou book, I recommend it.

What are you talking about, all of Silicon Valley saw the red flags and passed on investing.

It’s the old school, non-tech East Coast investors and DC political connections that failed to do their diligence.

Who's "allowing" success, I'd like to make an appointment?

'They' are a bunch of algorithms and they don't take appointments. Just say a lot of positive things about the following topics on social media and the algorithms will start working for you: - Fiat monetary system - Banks - Big corporations - Big tech - Hedge funds - Billionaires - The importance of censorship to prevent misinformation - Executive bonuses - Surveillance - The need for more regulations - Big governmen…

This is some serious tin foil hattery you've got going on.

Tl;DR He appears to have a track record of abusing women.

At the same time, I wouldn't callously discard that these women are simply making up stuff because they're "gold digging".

"Innocent before proven guilty" is an important concept, but, I wouldn't pin the women as guilty of lying either
