Bear in mind that Silicon Valley sprung up, by sheer coincidence, in a place with two world-class universities close enough to loathe one another's sports teams.
Primary and secondary schools may well be training indicators.
- lsc 7y agoMaybe... but can you get world-class universities without a culture that values education? I mean, I guess it's one of those chicken and egg things, as a world class university both requires and attracts people who value education. But, I mean, could you greenfield start a world class university in a place where people see reading in public as something to be ridiculed? would that be easier than bootstrapping a major tech company in some low cost of living area?
