Hey Silicon Valley, It’s Time to Wear a Suit
Dressing in a sloppy manner is related to a sloppy approach to other people's money, says this NYT story about the 30 year old founder of FTX. Silicon Valley mystique was partly built on this type of clothing and style by careful manipulation of cultural elements, just as the Marlborough campaign for cigarettes with "glamorous" cowboys at one time. The culture based in Silicon Valley has led to a massive misallocation and destruction of capital. This diverts capital into non essential purposes that is critical for investment in America's aging and dilapidated infrastructure, and for creating social mobility in the US through investment in manufacturing, education, health and communities throughout the US. It was sold like a pack of Marlborough cigarettes were once sold in the US with television advertising of the glamorous cowboy. Conceived in 1954 it lasted till 1999.
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
