Such an interesting insight, and I especially liked the ethnographer-styled distance from the subjects in the Valley and in Washington D.C.

I’m off to read the literature on paıdeía and how it might relate to the idea of Bildung.

I think that last sentence means I’ve been mentally colonised by the Valley-men…


SV folks dont write books, they write blog posts. Unfortunately this often results in something half baked. At least i feel that way. Take the article above or PGs latest one about „Founder Mode“, both perfect examples.
