Perhaps it should refer to all the brilliant people in %90 of web startups in general. The majority of Silicon Valley's (NYC perhaps even more so) recent output is fluff, stuff that impacts people's lives about the same as drugstore celebrity mags.
(But it's not a new trend, TV or advertising or law or finance are/were similar in that respect.)
- Vivtek 15y agoThe majority of everything has always been fluff. It's just we remember those parts of the past that weren't fluff, and forget 97% of it. Otherwise our heads would be entirely fluff. I vividly remember the fall of the Berlin Wall, just about the time I was getting married. Until this spring, I had a similar tendency to think that geopolitics "nowadays" was drab and boring. Evolutionary punctuation only just happens so often, but that doesn't mean evolution has come to a screeching halt. (Or rather, it has - just that it will continue with a screeching lurch when it's good and ready.)
