Even self-described Democrats and Obama supporters, like startup founder and venture capitalist Balaji Srinivasan, seem to be concluding that in order to get space to experiment and innovate in today’s political climate, an ‘exit’ might be in order. Srinivasan expanded on his vision in a couple of essays in which he proposed what he calls ‘inverse Amish’ spaces. Quite opposite to the Amish the point would be to push the envelope of what’s allowed.”
