I think they know too. But techno-utopianism is a form of art in Silicon Valley. Your average SV techbro feels superior to regular people who enjoy other forms of art such as music or sports or poetry or even film making. Label those activities as a "waste of time" but they end up completely falling for the BS performance art that scum like Elon Musk and Elizabeth Holmes put up. And they elevate them too! Where normal people see art in an Hendrix solo or an Eminem verse they see it in the obnoxious self-promoting BS spewed by such characters. Of course the window dressing for all the above is nonesense marketing terms such as : "showing passion" or "produce a strong narrative" or even "tell your story to the world"
