It's also the land of boomers rich off the decades of harvest in what was America's last frontier for industry, and from a certain perspective, frontier for social progress, I'm not kidding when I say as an icon Silicon Valley is deeply intertwined with the cultural progressivism seen in West Coast cities like Seattle and San Francisco. What.. is.. the soul of Silicon Valley? Is it in the cruspy VC's echoing the Burt Reynolds of the yesteryears, the neckbeard 30 year old redditor with a backend job, or radical progressivism?
