    silicon valley needs to stop being the center of the world

thenewgreen brought up a similar sentiment during our IRC earlier this week, completely agree with both of you. I went to college with numerous Computer Science, Software Engineer, etc. students who had their eyes set on Silicon Valley and only Silicon Valley. It's...culti-ish and kind of unsettling.

    We come from the counterculture and academia.

This is way more interesting to me. I'm at my best working with other creatives and on a smaller, local level trying to make change or bring something new or at least different to communities. What that looks like depends on too many factors to list.
