Futurology

I subscribe to way too many technology newsletters, however, the gems among them are better than anything you come across in regular mass media. So I persevere. This article is an interesting example of that.

It's an opinion piece. An ex-Silicon Valley person who is now living in Europe is reflecting on the huge gap between Silicon Valley and everybody else, and in particular, Generation Z and Millennials versus Silicon Valley in Western societies.

Why do I find it so interesting? Because I suspect the sentiment that he is describing and mining here is going to become really predominant for everybody in the 2030s. Also, there is a real irony to me here. Silicon Valley has all the power, or so it thinks it does, but if nobody shares your values or vision, does it matter in the end, if you are the one who changed technology? In the long run, it won't be your values or vision that actually changes the world. It will be all the people reacting against it.
