You comment is probably one of the most important here. The gate keepers (generally the nerds) who produced useful products/services allowed the non-nerds in (to management), and from then on it's a slippery slope.

You will see similar dynamics where a bunch of people are involved.

This is such an obviously correct comment that I imagine it'll languish down below the fold.

Playing off of it, the submission says something worth highlighting:

> One of them builds autonomous weapons for the Pentagon.

Luckey was perfectly happy doing VR at Facebook until he got shoved out over politics.

It's not just letting the non-nerds in--it's a decade-plus long campaign to push nerds out if they have the wrong ideology.

Influencers, activists, narcissists, and grifters

And then there were no 'safe spaces' for socially awkward/on-the-spectrum nerds. The spaces once created to escape the school bullies had let in new types of bully.

This but unironically! I normally hate gate keeping but in this one instance it’s all we have.
