The social science of gender & sexuality enjoyed 30 new peer-reviewed journals on its topics in 30 years. But quality suffers when supply increases dramatically (see Ioannidis 2005). My account of what happened when one narrative looked different from the many.

Massive VC consolidation Most VC capital went to a dozen funds and a dozen startups.
Venture $$ deployed are up, but # of deals are decreasing since Q1 2024: - The "it's easier to raise than find a job" myth is empirically wrong. - More consensus VC capital - Thus, it's only "easy" to raise the closer your startup is to consensus Not good for VC/startups imo
