Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Wishing everyone a great Fall.

there's a deeper issue behind these companies folding under gov't pressure than simple cowardice. our incentive structure deprioritizes ethical motives and rewards profit-chasing at any cost what's novel is not their response, but that the profit threat is driven by the gov't's reaction to speech
