I believe that despite all valid criticism, the innovation unleashed in Silicon Valley, from Xerox Parc over Apple, Google, Facebook to Tesla has on balance been a strong force for good, and kept the US vibrant while traditional industries and infrastructure mostly declined.

The unabashed hatred visible in pieces like this interview with Scott Galloway is worrisome to me. It also reveals a growing rift between the thinkfluencers and the creators. Innovation is mostly seen as a threat, and at best just benefitting bad peoplehttps://www.recode.net/2018/11/16/18098008/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-sheryl-sandberg-new-york-times-kara-swisher-scott-galloway-pivot-podcast …

At some point it becomes implausible to think that the people making decisions at these companies really believe that they’re helping people.

Which fraction of people that go to work every day do that to help people vs. just make a living? I don’t think it is fair to hold every company founded SV to such standards, and condemn SV as a whole based on that.

The zeitgeist is to give your company a nice-sounding, positive mission like you are selling your customer's private data for the benefit of humanity and not for own petty greed. Simply dishonest. Not sure if that scheme was invented in SV though.

All ad driven business works by selling an attack surface on biominds to corporate minds, so people buy some stuff from one company rather than the other. Newspapers do that too.
