This is a bay area centric take on a non bay area centric take.

The typical bay area centric take has the following vibe:

1. I am among the group of most open minded people

2. I admit mistakes, but I don't change my view, that means I may make the same mistakes next time on a different concrete cases

3. Morally I am among the least corrupted

4. I work for the moderately morally questionable firms with nice paychecks, but my moral views are not tainted a bit

5. I never think on the other's perspectives

As exemplified in the following series of essays

		Thank you so much for sharing these. I just laughed my ass off a bunch, and I’ve only yet read this one latest post in the series. My favorite bit, I think (along with the running gag of the constant use cases/connections that somehow pop up for Epstart’s founder): > “Would you like to hear more about how copying AI tics helps me keep conversations going?” > “Uh, sure - wait! No!” You break off and turn around as fast as you can. If the other entries in the series are anywhere near as good, I’ll have some reading to do now.
