Why isn’t Silicon Valley more engaged civically? For those that have done well, you don’t see folks engaging in local non-profits (the arts, homelessness, etc) the way people do in NY or LA. And given that we are nothing if not systems designers, can we design a solution? ##

His point is that this thinking works well for startups maybe not so well for rebuilding/strengthening a society. It’s similar to this point by Sarah & Phil:https://twitter.com/philchacko/status/1223337611416072192 …

SF culture is not one of incremental status upgrades like NY. It is driven off big plans, the raw power to try and change the status quo even if chances are slim. It’s one of the reasons I think SB50 has gotten so much conversation.

Spot on. Eg, Volunteer at a soup kitchen? That’s not scalable, I am only one person, and I can only serve so much soup...My wife ran a 30+ service provider non-profit in LA started by a man who volunteered at soup kitchens while building a $100bn PE firm. Eventually it scales.

It’s also more of a “get rich before you’re 30 years old” culture in SF... civic engagement goes with a longer term perspective.
