Silicon Valley's Tech Culture: 'We Just Want to Be Alone'
- 11thEarlOfMar 13y agoWrong. Silicon Valley's tech culture is rooted in idealism. Not isolationism. The people who thrive in The Valley are those with the conviction to change the world, and, who choose technology to implement that change. No doubt, many of us idolize Elon, Larry, Mark and Steve because they have changed the world through conviction, determination, intelligence and deep understanding of technology. They attract like-minded people. The worlds we envision are the worlds we want to live in because in some way, we see them as better than the world we do live in. More fair. More equal, more free, more just, less pain. That is idealism.
