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? ##

@AvidanRoss@rishigarg &@teddyschleifer on this. First question feels like diagnosing why folks don’t give back as much in SF. Going theories:0 proslijeđenih tweetova 8 korisnika označava da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit -
1) Angel investing replaces the social utilitarian value of giving in SF. 2) Age- the wealth is recent, the founders are young. 3) SF core is anti-establishment, builder mentality, so we don’t want the name on a gold plaque at the MET, we want to build our own solution. Others?

@ezraklein has an insight related to SF that sticks out w/ me reading the replies. He says the intellectual culture here is unlike other places, it’s venture-like in problem solving — “here are 20 ideas, 19 are quite wrong, not even a little wrong, 1 could change everything.”0 proslijeđenih tweetova 10 korisnika označava da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit -

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 …

Phil Chacko @philchackoOdgovor korisniku/ci @nabeelIt's somewhat simple. SV ruthlessly prioritizes under power law assumptions. The technorati do this in their philanthropy, seeking ROI in large TAM markets: national, global. In Horowitz language, local issues require lead bullets, not silver bullets. But that's less appealing.0 proslijeđenih tweetova 7 korisnika označava da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit -
But maybe there is a key there. New York uses status as a driver for giving (gala parties, names on plaques). But as
@paulg says, different cities send different messages on how to be successful there. (http://www.paulgraham.com/cities.html )1 proslijeđeni tweet 11 korisnika označava da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit
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.

But civic projects here generally still crib the language and approaches of other cities. I’ve got brochures from DC and SF non profits with virtually the same language. Perhaps the approach just needs to be different.
