Lots of the comments were misogynist so that's a part of it. Some of it is also just plain financial jealousy or racism. But I don't think its fair to claim that the pushback against "striver" culture is 100% racism. Many everyday social interactions in SF would be considered completely inappropriate anywhere else in this country. Including somewhere status-obsessed like NYC. Asking someone how much they make, what "rank" they are, and tactlessly approaching *every* human interaction as a transaction understandably rubs people the wrong way. The American experiment and Silicon Valley is meant to work because of our shared pursuit of an egalitarian society. I'm not certain if many of these young people understand this and, sorry, I *do* think its cultural. It's not just an Asian thing vs "western" thing either. Many parts of Europe, MENA and West Africa have old world ideas about hierarchy which I'm equally critical of. As these people are going to be hiring employees, voting, and shaping the future of American society I would like them to understand the values that create America. It's not just hard work and merit. It's the idea that anyone, from anywhere can succeed. with that said, racist abuse towards them is atrocious and a lot of these people are just kids finding their way.

but where is the Discourse Explanation???? i still want to see an actual theory of why This Is a Thing. who are these people, why are they doing this, why don't they feel shame, what's the long game??

@pmarca why is andreessen so obsessed w this

Unrelated, but came to mind for some reason.

@pmarca That's the rule now. That's the goal.

what an embarrassment. aren't we tired of these people yet?

@JoshEberley whats crazy is that historically a big part of the Spurs identity, from Pop on down, was high IQ basketball. how do you go from that to Mitch Johnson and Deaaron Fox? it's one thing to have bad nights where shots dont drop. but they straight up just seem really dumb, low IQ.

Spurs were ahead of schedule, great year on a whole. That said, Finals trips don’t grow on trees and you may not have expected it but now you’ve been and you’ve learned: - Fire Mitch - Trade Fox - Harper is that guy - Don’t get caught with six bench vets you CAN’T ever play.

@SpursCulture 1. Fire Mitch Johnson. 2. Trade Deaaron Fox for a bag of peanuts. Almost all of the poor decisions in these last games are ultimately the responsibility of the coach. If you don't fire the coach, it's on the GM. If you don't fire the GM for not doing that, its on the owner.

You're the Spurs GM, what's your first move this off-season?

@salinisalazini Mitch Johnson looks like an extremely low IQ coach. coaching was the single biggest mismatch in this series. hard to see him magically gaining 100 IQ points over the next couple of years.

I don’t understand, do you think like our whole ass Timmy Duncan/Parker/ Manu era was like one and done?!? Do you know how long it took them to mesh and become great? I don’t know about these new fans. Because damn no room for error let’s sell the whole ass team after one year together cus we didn’t win a championship 😂

@adryanashton there needs to be an investigation NOW lol why is fox seeing a single fucking minute of playing time

if Dylan Harper not starting next season that entire Spurs organization needs to get investigated

@SpursLegion BUT WHY IS MITCH JOHNSON STILL PLAYING HIM HKDJAHJKDASKHJDAS

De'Aaron Fox gonna have to start packing his bags after this series is over Harper is here NOW.

Deaaron Fox @swipathefox legit needs to be investigated by the FBI, and maybe an additional investigation into Mitch Johnson for continuing to play him. Why. Is. This. Happening. @FBI

@stoolpresidente i feel like im going insane. why is this happening.

The fact the Spurs keep playing Fox over Harper is bananland It’s like the Chicago Blacksox scandal.

@tetsuoai lol every part of this tweet is good except the last line. the government can absolutely send rockets to space! NASA has been less ambitious in the past few decades, but in eg the 1960s, the US gov was absolutely at the forefront of bold, risky ambitious space exploration.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

@captgouda24 the questions are often much narrower!

Perusing old issues of the Quarterly Journal of Economics, I don't think people have fully internalized just how much better econ papers are now. The quality of work is astounding.

@SpursReporter @NBA @OfficialNBARefs its just trivial in comparison to all the things the Spurs did to choke and lose this game.

Should the @nba and @OfficialNBARefs review this incident where Karl Anthony Towns asks Knicks fans to crowd Dylan Harper as he attempts to inbound the ball on the final play of Game 5? 👀 NBA rules explicitly state that fans are strictly prohibited from entering the playing area or intentionally interfering with players, whether the player is inbounds or out of bounds. Furthermore, rules state that fans must remain within the physical limits of their own seats. In an instance like this, Arena security staff is required to back the front row up, and offenders should be ejected. The second video in the tweet below also shows how egregious this violation was. Meanwhile @BexarCoSheriff in San Antonio announced today that they are beefing up security for Saturday's game given that there will be thousands of Knicks fans for Game 5. #PorVida

@SpursLegion in general yes. for these bums, and this coach, absolutely not lol.

Is it possible to win 3 games in a row?
