I fail to see how the sad and strange ideas of a single inventor, no matter how brilliant, relates to SV as a whole. If you want to blame Silicon Valley, then blame it not just for racist ideas. Talk about the valley worshipping money above everything, even its engineering roots.

As I see it, Shockley's only real contribution to Silicon Valley was unintentionally creating Fairchild Semiconductor by so thoroughly alienating his employees they had to start their own company to get away from him. His own technical innovations were a dead end.
