Palihapitiya on Speaking Out in Silicon Valley 

Lol Jesus he's good at answering these misdirected questions

Suggestion to Americans out of high school - go get a STEM degree in a third world country. You'll save money on education, healthcare and living expenses. Hire cheap labor to have somebody cook and clean - saving you time. Then come back to US to take American jobs. Let the schools selling overpriced degrees suffer. That will also get the travel bug out of you without having to spend extra time and money for long term travel. Let the US retailers, housing market and banks suffer as a result for at least the 4 years you are not in US Also, since you can't get a manufacturing job anymore in US, play the capitalism back at corporations when back. Buy directly from China. You'll not only save money, the companies sending your jobs outside will lose your business.

This looks like an example of someone who is not afraid to share an unpopular opinion and can afford to do so. Good for @chamath

I’ve just started to watch Mr. Palihapitiya’s speeches. I not only appreciate his incites into business, but I’ve come to highly respect how progressive he is in speaking up for minorities. Thank you!

I'm still waiting for the outrage at the gender imbalance in sewage workers and ditch diggers.

He handled that is such a great way. Like bruh who is this chick trying bait him into these loaded bullshit questions. Let the man spit knowledge.

Sounds like he hired very talented women. He didn’t go out and find “unicorns” for social capitals fund with an equality quota. Imagine this, quality and highly disciplined people being hired and they happen to be from different backgrounds.

She’s so obsessed with the diversity doctrine even though she’s one of the most privileged journalists in SF. How about diversity of opinion/ideas...

chamath is candid, informative, direct and choose not to be politically correct.. this makes him unique and interesting listening to as he never fails to bring a new perceptive, an alternative dimension to any issue he discuss.. keep your identity mate..we are proud of you ..

Chamath, Really like your expression style keep up the good work be your self as always !

He talks, we listen.

Excellent discussion... Emily , you are interviewing one of the brightest in the world at this time on Venture capital

Love this guy, just stumbled on him recently - he says it how it is, and says what's right instead of the right thing to say. Big difference.

Contrast this guy and his eloquence and articulate thoughts with the current elected president of the united states, and you have a picture of everything that is wrong with the united states.

This guy is amazing. I’m so grateful for his intentions and message.

Love his analogy.

This Emily Chang tries so hard to turn the conversation into a gender inequality issue. Why do you think? Oh yeah, she just wrote a book about it and is trying to sell it.

I was listening to it and then it struck me - he's doing the Moneyball thing of investing!

Any way to get the full interview ?

We are really missing a top comment with the timestamps when Chamath speaks

Very first question, he slayed Emily with one word and he knew it.

"We are addicted to free things" profound

In other words, he doesn’t care at all about diversity... it’s about hiring the best, irrespective who they are!

Listen, I am a woman, and I am black, but I feel like diversity now has become more about the look and public perception of a company rather than making sure that in our recruiting process we are not biased. People are making too many superficial noises especially nowadays without attacking the real devil that lives in personal biases during the recruiting process.

What is the company

Fantastic interview! Always interested in what he has to say.

Always straightforward with his answers on gotcha questions.

Discrimination is stupid. Diversity hiring is stupid. Its odd see an extremely privileged Asian women crying about diversity. If more women wanted to be in tech, they would be.

He's got some really good things to say. He does come off as a little unappreciative to the fact that Silicon Vally has given him pretty much ALL of his success. He points out correctly that in other parts of the world there are certainly fabulous engineers, but those jurisdictions might be missing other necessary requirements for becoming centers of innovation. For example, China has a totalitarian government and India has a caste system embedded in their culture. America isn't perfect, but the rule of law tends to be better than most other places in the world and its an immense marketplace. Also, by-in-large America is welcoming and allows people from all over the world to pursue their dreams freely. Chamath's own story is an amazing one. What makes a place become a center of innovation is not truly understood. In my opinion, it largely happens organically and can't be imposed.

google needs to create an AI to help us define spoken words while watching a video.

There are bad sides to offshoring and bringing in people from outside. 100 Russians come to a small city, it is diversity. 1 million come, you are in Russia now. When large scale immigration happens on a daily basis, you become like the countries the immigrants are coming from. The reason Mexico is so different from US while being the same land mass is the mentality of the people residing,

This video ended too soon

Brilliant 🤩

Is this the show or noit

He is projecting a world view, that goes beyond political, cultural and religious boundaries.

In India I can only watch laliga from facebook only what to do I am ready to pay for face book

where is chamath these days?

What does he mean when he says beta in this interview?

3.5 B under management then, 1.7 Billion in 2019 alone 👏👏👏 Keep going Chamath !!!

Eloquent

While West debates gender, East dominates tech horizon.

"Peter Thiel 1996"

She is very obsessed with diversity and women while Palihapitiya responce is that its more about the business and people that are really productive towards the goals at making quality of life better by solving those complex problems!

Very easy to listen to this fella... Can you guys get him to Bloomberg more often...

I was excited to hear this until it just turned into a chick womansplaining

High performers don't worry about competition. However, mediocre people do. That is why diversity talk scares people so much - more and better competition.

It is the aggressive nature exhibited by this interviewer, her tone, that keeps many women like her, no matter how gifted, pushed away from small groups of men who function better in a calmer manner. She is combative by nature, good for her, but really....

anyone else tired of diversity talk?

Wishing Chamath a very long life

There’s a reason she’s still at Bloomberg and not at CNBC... this interview felt painfully awkward at times

She deflates the energy in the room. Best person for the job. Too much work to be done to waste time complaining and blanket blaming. How many person-hours is wasted theorizing instead of pursuing and accomplishing tangible work?

eloquence. rare gem

He should talk about Tesla. Emily hates Tesla and she is totally evilly bias.

04:23 sir, the interviewer does not believe you/agree with you...

chamath being chamath. wow

Most screaming for equality simply don't understand how hard something is...

Wow..what a guy. We definitely need more people like him. Creating value and generating revenue should be the top of the list when running a business and not pushing forward your latent biases.

Genius

WOMEN DONT ENJOY TECHNOLOGY AS MUCH! Holy fuck, let it go already.

Equality except not really. Emily is annoying with her BS and I would say that if she were a man. I very fair that way. She’s not getting what he’s saying.

Her doesn't seek diversity, he seeks the best- whoever they are.

Hard work not token standards

we are addicted to free things :D :D agree . . . .

If you think you can compete with silicon valley hiring chickens or donkeys you can do it. There is nothing stopping you it is a free country. Good luck with that.

He said about 10 times It doesn’t matter about color or gender

It may be good for US businesses to sell degrees for 100K, good for govt to tax homes for decades in return for "free" education till high school, and then turn around and hire those who got a near free degree from a government run college from offshore location - people who contributing anything to US. Never spent a dime on housing, food cars etc. The people living in lala lands will never understand why Trump won and why he is doing the right thing to save US jobs. Palihapitiya, sometimes you are smart and other times you are tone deaf You can't see things from the point of vast middle working class that sacrifices the most and gets the short end of the stick. They build the country and immigrants get to enjoy and take their jobs

Chamath is so smart. big fan. I also think he's on something, why is he sweating so much?

🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰👌👌👌

This man is a true prodigy and an inspiration for a brighter future for humanity. The gears of change are on the move and the wheels are grinding all that antiquated old age rust trying to keep that old order.

Chamath, you are damn good... But doesn't want to push you to be better and better.. and put un due pressure on you...

My father told me not to talk to strangers unless they offered me candy or money. If people are so gullible today, very little can save them.

3:30

Indy Hugh Jackman The Wise

15:09 This is a super important point. H1B and other programs for attracting talent from all over the world has been super beneficial to United States. From the perspective of a strategic advantage/disadvantage: The actual impact of a potential reversal will be felt.

He is forgetting khosla ventures... better than social capital

Emily Chang comes across as a very hateful person.

I build a system that restores the pancreas in 8 hrs. Do I get funding?

Win is bad goal. If you can't go back due to dosing players. I rather have a normal team on my side.

You started Social Capital in 2011 and you have how many white aryan men?

He is ahead of his time.

Turning this off in the first 30 seconds. Not a good way to open dialogue with a brilliant person.

Goodness, she doesn't listen does she? He's speaking English and she's speaking English. But she can't understand him. She seems to ask preset questions instead of incorporating his answers that he gave and think before asking more questions.

Diversity talk only scares poor performers. The NBA is probably 25% foreign born players now. There are more quality white players now than ever before. All there because they can actually play very well. The nonwhite players aren't complaining. When the rules are clear, and the playing field is equal everyone benefits in the right way. Why ignore almost 70% of the talent in any marketplace.

Sequoia would wipe their asses with social capital's lp docs

The alpha beta contrast is so spot on

There is really nothing more challenging than being a middle-aged white male in Silicon Valley. Emily is sooooo out of touch.

He knew what he was building at Facebook. Today I am only listening to him because he made money by working at Facebook $FB. I won't be surprised if he invest in a business model morally similar to Facebook.

Rich people complaining about rich people

so basically everything good about america is not american ...good to know

Best line ever "We are addicted to free things".

These two people are poles apart. She wants women to be chosen BECAUSE of their gender. He just wants the best people. His reasoning pretty much destroys feminist garbage. Yet he seems to buy into it. I've lost a lot of respect for him. Why would he speak at such a hateful event?

I don’t trust this guy as far as I can throw him after he pushed that Bitcoin bs on everyone

She's fun.

equality equality blah blah

I don't like diversity.

super uncharacteristic and what he says is nothing new, just regurgitation what everyone is saying everywhere.
