the magic of silicon valley. my friend another silicon valley historian talks about a relay race passing the baton from one generation to another. that's the magic where they mentors and funds and does the same to the internet generation then to the social media generation. but they have this -- you know, what they say is pattern recognition. i give money to -- i'm going to invest in this guy, in this person because they went to stanford and they're wearing a hoodie and they're on the spectrum. yeah. because it's also this gut thing where you're giving, you know, resources to people because you just believe in the person, not just the product. so that is -- and that's part of what makes it work. i mean, that's the challenge. part of if you want to explain what the magic of silicon valley is, it's this insilarity. darpa, you know, it has become the giant in computer science. in part because of government austerity over the last 40 years. everything else got cut away. even computer scientists who were deeply ambiva

there is a really interesting -- it is the moment when silicon valley or the generation of silicon valley entrepreneurs turned/millionaires turned political activist start becoming a presence in washington. it is the moment partially when bill clinton is elected in 1992. works very hard starting from before he declares his candidacy to woo silicon valley and to make the democrats the party of silicon valley. prior there had been close ties with republicans both at the national and state level. but there is a moment where they are trying to figure a medium that is defined as the wild west and where the advocates of the internet from the valley are talking about it as a frontier. talking about it in a frederick jackson turner sort of way although not consciously , wide-open spaces waiting to be conquered. limitless possibility. but our arguing for keeping something that on principle that sounds very good to members of both parties as well as defenders of free speech which is keeping the internet free and out of the influence of the media companies including cable as possible. there is a pol

across the silicon valley, the average age of employees is strikingly low.average worker at facebook is 29. by the numbers on, it's 30. but there is a movement to help those who want to stay relevant and fulfilled at sillicon valley firms. this is a meeting of a group called the modern elders, a community of older, mostly tech workers, who come here to network and learn how to adapt their skills. there is a lot of fear. people feel like they've put a lot of time and energy into a company, extremely dedicated, and then all of a sudden you're obsolete. there is a lot of energy and interest in millennial zande the younger generation and, so of course as we get older, it's really a question of where's our place? the people here all seem to set something in common, they've had to rebuild their confidence in order to bring their perspective to their sillicon valleyjobs. the man behind this movement thinks companies should see hiring them notjust as an obligation, but an opportunity. chip connolly founded the modern elder group and literally wrote the book on the b

and this is like an open secret in silicon valley.kind of crazy what google is doing. outside of silicon valley when you talk about it and i sort of feel like i'm the little kid saying there's no clothes it's just a secret hidden in plain sight. maybe what google is thinking if they don't give the technology to china through the front door, with their ai lab in beijing, it will go out the back door through ip theft. i think we are at a point where this relationship is going to be rethought quite a bit. there was sort of a strategy under president nixon and reagan to build up china as a counterweight to the soviet union, and i think that made sense in the 70s and 80s. it probably stopped making sense in the 90s and we kept doing this with china, and so i think this sort of way that we have interacted with communist china has probably not made a lot of sense since about 1989 and i think it is being rethought, president trump is rethinking of this, he's changed the conversation nationally, on this , and i think it won't go back to the st
