One of the things is when you think, Wait, I'm fearful of retaliation, I'm fearful of oppression because of someone who is going into a public office, who might be vengeful for their own personal reasons, that's actually not a reason to hide - that's a reason to step up, right?This is part of what we learned from the 1920s.

Reid Hoffman
I'm sympathetic to the people who go, Whoa, we'd like to have the benevolent, wise dictator. It will all work much more efficiently, but the reason that we remain staunch democrats - with a small d - is it's a decades long, it's a centuries long, it's a country long process for being inclusive.
Reid Hoffman
The value of being connected and transparent is so high that the roadbumps of privacy issues are much lower in actual experience than people's fears.
