>They're frustrated with useless innovation, seeing it mainly as resources that could have been used to advance a more worthy goal. They lament the waste of resources and the failures of vision to bring those resource to bear on the proper goals and problems.
If that's truly their concern, why focus on Silicon Valley and not on Hollywood or professional sports?
Why would that person be bothered that some SV company spent a few million making a fancy juicer, but not care that some billionaire is spending orders of magnitude more money (often taxpayer money) building a new stadium which is only slightly different than ones that already exist?
- Kalium 8y agoIt's often not just misdirected money that they see. It's a huge amount of misdirected money coupled with incredibly smart, intelligent, driven people who seem to genuinely want to change the world... and who seem to succeed once in a while. If you imagine all that money, energy, brains, and change going towards something you deem more worthy, I can see how someone might deem it a massive waste of everything. It's understandable. Though, I believe, perhaps occasionally a bit naive.
