The tremendous accumulation of wealth. At the same time, Silicon Valley has a cliched image of itself where it's like we are the ones who think differently and we are contrarian. We're disruptors. In some ways, it's still quite impressive.

Despite all the things that America fucks up, we still have the best talent from all around the world coming to California in particular, coming to Silicon Valley, even though it's kind of like a place that's very expensive and unlivable in certain ways. But we still have that. And our economy is still growing. Our lifespans are not. We're making this tradeoff, which might be bad.

Silicon Valley understands that growth is vital and technology eight times out of 10 is good. And they understand probability. They understand that if you are making a lot of high upside, high risk bets, if you make enough of those, actually they pay off pretty well, right? If you'd like a one in 10 chance of having 100 extra investments, like a really good bet in the long run.

those basic things right overcomes a lot of all types of problems. Being very pilled on some issues and it's very male and very white and Asian. It's always had a lot of ego and I think Trump winning further inflates those egos.

People with power and privilege act the way they do. People have an amazing ability to feel like they're disempowered or aggrieved when, objectively speaking, Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen and Elon are doing really fucking well, right?

They're as wealthy as any people have ever been in the history of the universe, or the world at least. Shape the world they live in pretty dramatically. And the book gives them a perfectly fair shake. They're kind of sore winners. The average Silicon Valley CEO is still probably a progressive Democrat. There was a much more sizable Trump faction. The book kind of anticipated that.
