You might find the book “Palo Alto” highly illuminating. I certainly did.

There’s a lot more consistency in the backstory of Silicon Valley than I realized.

There’s certainly an amazing culture of visionaries and innovation and creative people as well, it’s worth noting that, but there’s a deep history of sociopathic business practices as well that goes back 100+ years and is core to the identity of the Valley in general and Stanford in particular.
