George Shultz really comes off as a moron in all of this. > 'They can try to convince me that you're wrong and in this case I do believe you’re wrong,' Then he tricks his grandson into coming over to chat, and oh by the way there's two lawyers from the company sitting in the next room with NDA paperwork for you to sign. Later, he manages to weasel out of ever saying "I was wrong". > "Tyler’s handling of the troubling…

Everyone looks up to someone. I suggest that you look up to Tyler Schultz.

That guy stuck to his guns and faced a hell of a toll for it. He had his life destroyed. He knew that was going to happen. He went ahead anyway.

Why? Because it was the right thing to do. Tyler saved countless lives, real actual people's lives; Elizabeth and Sunny's greed and hubris undoubtedly would have killed many people, no question.

Tyler Shultz is a hero.

Never let anyone tell you that you don't matter. Do the right thing.

Be like Tyler.

How do people think it will play out both tech-culturally and politically if she gets convicted / acquitted? If convicted, justice would be had but would it send a negative message to entrepreneurs? If acquitted, might it reinforce the "break things and move fast even if it harms people mentality"?

It might send a cautionary message, but cautionary messages aren't inherently negative.

Is it purgury to say "I dont know" when you actually do?

It is perjury, but often a particularly hard (though not impossible, as legal proof is not the same as logical proof) to prove form of it.
