"Silicon Valley" & the "tech sector" are PR mirages > it's DARPA's public-private defence community + wallstreet big finance.

there is a dark underbelly to that story. Research Vannevar Bush for 20min off the beaten path, and you'll find weird. Or Rand Corp

There is always a dark underbelly. I admire people who do good despite the circumstances they were put in. This is the best we can do.
-
I also look at RAND corp as like Shinra Corp in Final Fantasy. They will get their karma handed over to them at some point in the future.

I agree that there is good work in silicon valley, but that's expected when you throw money at anything. My criticism is against monopolies.

I hold silicon valley to task for its growing Cthulhu worship. Monopoly by data centralization is THE evil.https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/626443283527561216 …

i.e. One great advantage SV has is that non-compete agreements are void. This doesn’t protect employees, just their employers.
