Is Silicon Valley selecting for moral idiocy?

Ok so there's a lot of people with high iqs in the bay area, in what sense are they intelligent? my contention is that they are moral imbeciles like Adolf Eichmann.

This guy in "Further Future" (a sot of "Burning Man for the rich):

“This is a high percentage of San Francisco entrepreneurs, and they tend to be winners. It’s a curated, self-selected group of adults who have jobs,” Schmidt said. “You can tell by the percentage of trailers.”

It's not self-selected, it is exclusive and cannibalistic, and these high iq aspergers from the bay area pull their yokes in castrated oxlikeness maybe because they're too autistic to get a gardening girlfriend/boyfriend that's happy with much less money and -especially- hype, or to break out of the work-withdrawal-comfort cycle for that matter.

“This is top-league networking and business folks are all here in the guise of having fun. It’s designed around the music, but it’s about the business,”

Exactly, the spirit of fun is hijacked by cutthroat social climbing, and these poor (moral) imbeciles are unlikely to experience laughing for real at a joke and not because the boss cracked it. Also, the bourgeois are always lame, because the real joke would be about them. The capacity to fake laughter selects in favor of Eichmann style "smart imbeciles" They would be pitiful if they were not despicable.

You might paint a clumsy picture of god money stomping the throat of Pan, but the Cthonic ones are way more fundamental, and one day Shiva might jus send his flying monkeys to your fancy "sacrifice"

If you live in the bay area just ignore that sentence, it's not really for your secular soul-contemptuous worldview.


“What happens post-capitalism? Even post-democracy? What about post-employment, when we have universal basic income?"


I guess "post-democracy" means when we no longer have the right to decide...

"..we have great reverence for Burning Man, but there’s always an element of arduousness. Here, we have spa treatments and green juice,” he said. “There’s already enough in life that’s tough.”


Finally the jewel:

“We’re so privileged to come to these spiritual places – Further Future, Tulum – but not everyone can,” the audience member says, asking Piorkowski how he should reconcile that.

“It’s all about balance. We are the ones meant to be the air, not the earth,” Piorkowski said. “So you have this group who can travel. The purpose can never be to enable everyone to travel because that would create imbalance.”

Translate to: We are meant to have "unabashed luxury" while the rest of you just live a tough life because we can't afford to lift you out of the rough.

Right. Gods and clods. (See the south park episode where one of the dads explains this) Some have to be poor so we can be rich.

In the meantime a bright asperger is finally getting around the key problem that will let one of these sorry excuses for a human to concentrate wealth even more, damning another 10-100 million people to "be earth" (read: dirt, for them to step on)

Briefly: this idiot thinks he's very smart because he does without ac. How does he do laundry? He just buys new clothes from china. Now that's really smart...

WTF?
