To loosely paraphrase Marx, capitalism tends to destroy itself while self-perpetuating. SV did, and still does, perform a certain benefit in making goods and services flow. It's also a very attractive power center for our generation. The hope we should all have is that disruption does, in fact, prevail and keep any one tech monopoly in check with a new "up-and-comer" always over the horizon; that the government does not become entirely captured by business, can exert the interests of the public and effect a compromise; and that presently marginalized voices - on any issue, from identity to climate to existential threat - are heard and their concerns addressed through the process.
