The next thing Silicon Valley needs to disrupt big time: its own culture
- kazinator 12y agoThis is a great read. Especially the story about how the founder of Lotus, Mitch Kapor, gave a talk about "dangers of what he called the 'mirror-tocracy': confirmation bias, insularity, and cliquish modes of thinking." which was followed by a talk by Mark Zuckerberg. Mark came late, hadn't heard Mitch's talk, and led with: "I want to stress the importance of being young and technical. Young people are just smarter." Facepalm LOL!
