The author may be surprised to find out what happens outside of Silicon Valley. The techies didn't invent the ways of the world.

If you think techies came up with uniquely 'evil' masterplans that weren't commonplace at the time of their rise to prominence - you're wrong. Have one listen to that delightful All-In podcast if you want a glimpse into how unoriginal and devoid of insight tech billionaires who think they have insight are. Imagine what the rest are like. Techies invented some cool tech. When it comes to politics and power, they've invented nothing. Complicit and cowardly? Sure but what did you expect? Iron Man?
