"when journalists attack rich people, or attack the technology industry, they’re really bidding for status"

There's a lot of that going on these days.



Yep. In fact, when rich technologists fire back with comments like his, they are also bidding for status.

(Or, more politely, engaging in a public conversation about values.)


It's also an argument that reduces any valid criticism into tribalism.

It's a dangerous statement to make.
