Really enjoyed reading this. Also, I'll add: VCs (and this is a radical oversimplication, but one I'll stand by) primarily spend their work hours either with other VCs or with founders/execs from their portfolio firms. It's a very particular filter bubble - a lot of VCs simply don't get that their companies are seen in very different ways by people outside that bubble.

Really excellent and balanced synthesis of this whole scenario. It seems impossible to get this kind of coherence without moving some of the discussion off of Twitter and to a blog/newsletter. Thanks for taking the time to generate some sanity. Subscribed.

Fun post, but was hoping to get your thoughts on L'affaire Slate Star Codex! That seems like the current flashpoint in the VC vs. journalists conflict.
