Saw this last week and I thought to myself that you foresaw it several years ahead and intercepted re twitter, and of course that led to many dramatic outcomes. While there were many naysayers then, I guess you can’t cover up extremism forever (be it left or right). It took several years after your interception for the real problem to finally come to light. Just wild. 

In the mid 50’s, 8 scientists were overwhelmed with William Shockley, Nobel prize winner on transistors. Shockley was bureaucratic, authoritarian, erratic, believed in eugenics, had severe distrust of his people and forced them to take lie detector tests, and did not want to innovate. Much like all gov'ts I guess. 

The 8 scientists had enough, they left. Shockley’s investors invested in them. They were called the “traitorous 8” aka the 50’s rebel group.

They went on to create Fairchild, invented ICs and transformed the electronics industry. 2 of them founded Intel and changed the computing industry. Their style was on expanding innovations, egalitarian. Maybe uncle Bob nostr:npub19mun7qwdyjf7qs3456u8kyxncjn5u2n7klpu4utgy68k4aenzj6synjnft  might know this story better and can shed some light. 

But from what I read, that’s how Silicon Valley started. 

Maybe Silicon Valley needs another round of “rebel groups” like the traitorous 8 to reduce extreme polarization. 

Maybe the US needs them too, to break down their bureaucracy and start afresh - so that the US can go further and faster.  Maybe all countries need it. 

You can call the rebel groups Bitcoiners, Nostr or anything you want. But they break extreme polarization, open and transparent and focus on growth - which truly benefits the people.
