Редактирование: Silicon Valley (раздел)

== Commentary ==
On blind [[techno-optimism]]:
<blockquote>"Silicon Valley will solve our problems via tech," she repeated from under the rubble, as the dueling plutocrats' Warbots ravaged the city - via Twitter<ref>[https://twitter.com/MikeOdenthal/status/766325607336701953 Twitter, @MikeOdenthal, 2016-08-09]</ref></blockquote>

On [[ethics]] and power:
<blockquote>“Engineers don’t do ethics courses and this is why Silicon Valley...” is a classist slur designed to reallocate social status between engineers and virtuous paragons like journalists, MBAs, legislators, health insurance executives, lawyers, and others who take ethics classes.<ref>https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1070874040619819009?s=19</ref></blockquote>

On [[cryonics]]:
<blockquote>What did change, thanks to the tech bubble, was the combined net worth of the Silicon Valley software engineers who are in the demographic sweet spot of the Alcor business model. Here were young people possessed of the lust for eternal life, who required no PR blitzes to persuade them of technology’s ability to overcome the brute empirical facts of the human condition—many with the outsize ego to cast themselves as Christlike figures awaiting resurrection and the ample self-confidence to ignore all naysayers.<ref>[https://thebaffler.com/salvos/everybody-freeze-pein Everybody Freeze!]</ref></blockquote>
