The article makes a good argument against simplifying Silicon Valley down to its faults The article makes a good argument against taking media spin at face value. (Including that within the article. Including that within this comment!) I feel like the author falls victim to the same blind-men-and-elephant problem: he somehow reads all the 'thinkpieces' (whatever that means) that focus on strange things... We all fall victim to all the media [X] that focus on strange things. In Manufacturing Consent we see how it worked in the 80's with newspapers and television mergers in the context of the west vs. the Soviet bloc. In 2019, it's Left vs. Right and new media vs. old media. I personally do not see this phenomenon, probably because I get my news from aggregators with different bias. Then you do suffer from an analogous phenomenon, modulo your own biases. The (successfully defeated) strawman is just that, a strawman. If only it were a strawman. At this point, it's more like a miasma we are all living in and breathing in.
