- Leaders in Silicon Valley are on the edge of the growing, emerging markets in tech. Yet they constantly fall all over themselves to win approval from the leaders of the stagnant, dying markets of academia and journalism. It’s like the rebel nerds won, but they still want approval from the conformist cool kids who lost.
- Twitter and social media in general seem to have a growing gap. The world I see there looks less and less like anything I experience in the actual world of flesh and blood people. This has me wondering just how much social media is completely fake. Manufactured controversy. Fake likes and comments and retweets. Fake accounts. Fake stories. There seems to be just too much divergence from the reality I see off Twitter for the one presented on Twitter to not be manufactured in significant part.
