> It's crazy

that is a phrase often used by people who are appealing to an invisible sense of "us versus them", emphasizing that the crazy thing-person-event is "not us" ?

> even after the video was made private by the Stanford YouTube channel

private conversations among the very powerful is exactly the topic.. so this seems a bit of a Freudian slip

> I thought the talk was great.

I am one of "us" so why so much upset from "them" ? Can we get some social mutual-assurance that "them" are so wrong, and "us" is OK (and continue to be wealthy) ?

> he was being really open about what normally happens in these types of companies

normal ! this is normal ! why are "them" so upset when this is obviously normal, right ?!

> I think the problem is that he, as someone in a position of power, was too open about it?

clearly we need to keep up the secret conversations among the wealthy and powerful ?
