I know he is long dead but Silicon Valley can use Albert Camus genius right now. There is lot going on here which will make for an interesting existential drama.

Filthy rich as compared to 99% of the world, but still managing to carry everyday concerns which can put Communist era Soviet citizens to shame.

I am tired of using word “WTF” while listening to complaints of some of our friends who are just sticking around in the valley to hit some imaginary number before they can leave for more sane place.

Jumping around from opportunity to opportunity in order to position ourselves in the right-time/right-place coordinate, we find life in valley settling for less colors. Folklore includes comedy of mis-judged coordinates and armchair punditry- “Dude I had this YouTube idea long time back”

For me the idea of “The lone and level sands stretch far away” is a daily reminder and helps to stay in balance. Remember in the end even the fittest won’t survive.

Not every toy needs to be inside the house.
