The fake (Alper's fake Google employee street theater rant) felt real and the real (Gopman's rant about the homeless) felt fake because all logic has been lost in the midst of a cultural upheaval between those in tech and those outside of it. The problem, though, is that those sides don't necessarily correlate to 'tech' vs. 'non-tech'. But there's no doubt this will be a fight. It's just in everyone's best interest that it's the right one.
