<< Fuck that. We can do better, and these are shite excuses for not doing better. Ok. Lets say you have carte blanche to make changes. What do you propose as the priority? In other words, what would be the thing to do? I am dead serious. What is a good solution here? << That says a great deal about the quality of people you surround yourself with. I deal with people as they are and not as I would like them to be. We can pretend its all sunshine and puppies, but I am not sure it is, at all, helpful to the conversation. And that includes that kid in the article. But yeah, I talk with everyone. I do my best not to enclose myself in a bubble. Now that is a recipe for an actual disaster down the line. << "In 2015..some or very little." If I were to counter it, I would simply point out that you are attempting to compare apples to oranges. In other words: "And you wonder why people don't like you." does not equal "respondents wanted more regulation". I want more regulation ( I actively encourage it ), but the broadbrush stroke 'people don't like you' ( you being very open to interpretation so I left it in quotation marks is not exactly supported by the polls you quoted ) does not apply to me. Do you see a problem with this, lets call it, inaccurate language? This is also before we get to the 'value' of those polls ( I was never a part of one and, frankly, don't know anyone who was.. so right of the bat, I am not entirely certain the population captured is representative of.. anything really ) and the source (MJ), which is not exactly a non-partisan player. << Note that the criminal justice system did better in this poll than Silicon Valley. And the group that did the worst was "Corporate America" which just might overlap with some other folks here. I chuckled. It really made me question who had time to answer that poll, because I am sure the demographics would be a fascinating study in this case. << What we have here is a refusal to take responsibility for their own wrong actions, instead pointing the finger at Google, incentives, feigned helplessness, everyone else doing it, and it being "the real world". What wrong actions? You did not offer specifics. It is the real world. People compete with each other for scarce resources just like they did since the beginning of time. Fuck man, be happy that at least there are some rules to that competition. Are there advantages to being rich? Yeah. Is that new? No. We are barely out of the jungle so best you can do is channel our predilections. So I go back to my original question: What is your solution beyond attempting to say 'tech community bad'. edit/addendum: What wrong actions? You did not offer specifics. There is plenty wrong with tech today ( and if you go through my comments, you may even notice a pattern ), but I would like you to offer something beyond generic statements. edit2: I looked at the source data for your second link ( https://tech.co/news/millennials-dont-trust-silicon-valley-2016-09 https://tech.co/news/millennials-dont-trust-silicon-valley-2...; https://eig.org/millennial/ https://eig.org/millennial/ ) and their methodology is below: On behalf of EY and the Economic Innovation Group, Public Opinion Strategies and GBA Strategies conducted a survey of 1,200 18-34 year olds nationwide. Eight hundred and forty respondents were contacted online and 360 were contacted via cell phone. The survey was conducted June 15-20, 2016, and has a margin of error of + 2.83%. Do you see anything there makes your analysis somewhat dated?
