I do wonder why the Valley has such an aversion to defense contracts then if other non-defense related “necessary” technologies cause guaranteed collateral damage.
Is it because these technologies such as self-driving cars will only kill people accidentally?

- madhadron 8y agoThat's a new thing. Silicon Valley was built on defense money after WWII. The microcomputer and BBS world there was very connected to utopian and pacifist ideals, which is where a lot of the anti-military ethos present today comes from. That was later, though.
