Isn't it possible to be proficient or even prophetic at a thing while being not so good at another?

I agree those comparisons to China border on wacky while I feel he is right on target about the fundamental, critical, beating-heart importance of free speech in all things. Maybe he also has valuable thoughts to share on productivity. Or maybe not!

I'd advise spending some time in China before judging. It's probably not what you'd expect, if you're just going by US media depictions.

Likewise someone in China judging life in the US!

How then should an employee act under a strongly anti-semitic or anti-asian or homophobic boss? Should they just endure it because quitting or complaining is censorship? Is driving people out by bigotry acceptable but firing the bigots who drive employees away is not?

If bigotry is allowed in the workplace, why not nudity: isn't that free expression too?
