Yes, I agree with everything you said. I also believe Virginia was silenced together with the others.

Reading this really was like those movie plots where the protoganist is being treated like a hysterical crazy person and you as the viewer know that they are right, and start feeling desperate and trapped together with them.

This first became apparent to me with the whole theranos ordeal. Holmes only had to secure one person with a name and after that no one really bothered to look into the legitimacy of the work, because each new person thought well if it wasn’t legit, so and so wouldn’t have invested in the business. So not only these people have no moral clarity, but they are also dumb and only are “successful” because of a reputational ponzi scheme.

Tbh I think the people at the top still haven’t caught up with the rapid changing sentiments among the population. My zero-tech-savy retired mother in-law was talking to me about Palantir the other day.
