I have always been pessimistic about the glorification of Silicon Valley, but this puts me over the edge to be utterly disgusted with everything that is the Tech world. It might as well be a giant cult, where the "priests" (VCs and/or wealthy individuals in general) get to have sex with the women (people) of their choice. I am absolutely disgusted. The level of hypocrisy in this industry is horrendous. Until the Tech community can clean up its own act, it need not apply for 'cleaning up the world'. There is a systemic attitude justifying these actions in the minds of these individuals. Just because they may be extremal outliers does not mean that their thinking was independent of their environment. EDIT: I would like to add: And just because you write software, or helped build a company, or invested in a company that created a widely adopted piece of software, does NOT make you some sort of (semi-)savior of the world. I strongly believe that much of the chauvinism we are seeing is derived from the already large (undeserved) egotistical foundation much of S.V. sustains/feeds/nourishes itself off of.
