IMO the biggest challenge would be making a system that will punish according to actual transgression, not according to perceived status. In reality, the slick investor type will get off the hook, but the virgin neckbeard programmer will get slammed for harassment and also for being a virgin neckbeard. Any ideas for fixing that?


I think you have to hit people in their image or their wallet. Slick investor types will have to publicly call out their peers' bad behavior. Slick investor types will have to lose out on a huge investments because they treated a pitch meeting like speed dating.

What can we do? We'll have to raise our children to be respectful of everyone, so hopefully, they become successful and they won't stand for this type of injustice.

I don't think there's a silver bullet. It's going to take time and work.
