> > SV not a scam on some general level Except it kinda is. The big improvement in quality of life for people in the last 3 years have been mRNA vaccines, they brought normality back in the world.

Forget social media and all that crap, fracking has saved trillions to the US economy given how costly the Middle East military campaigns proved to be. And yet in the press (tech, financial and otherwise) there is just the Silicon Valley, because it's a 2 way street, people in Silicon Valley go out of their way to get press space to explain to mere mortals how they are saving the world when there is vivid action attacking the problems in all kind of places, sometimes world saving kind of action (as per the case of mRNA)
