Not the original poster, but I read the comment differently. > Maybe it’s time for Silicon Valley to tone things down. To admit that, no, the Valley can’t solve all human problems -- not even close -- and never will. I have a few problems with this quote. First, I don't think the people of SV ever got together and said, "We're going to solve all human problems!" The author is putting words into other people's mouths in order to make them look ridiculous. Second, what does this quote have to do with the topic at hand? This is a discussion of whether or not it's okay for a billionaire to help fund someone else's litigation, and it suddenly veers into a weird attack on all of SV. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, the author of the article is a paid media relations person. This probably isn't journalism, it's more likely unmarked native advertising paid for by Gawker to drum up outrage in preparation for appealing the verdict of the lawsuit. I really thought Reuters was better than this.
