Ted’s dead, baby

I donโ€™t understand why Silicon Valley types donโ€™t actually try to work for a better world when they have the means and the supposed professed interest to do so.

We’ve drowned in TED talks โ€“ like watching somebody masturbate on stage, only less pleasant and without the satisfaction of a definitive ending โ€“ by Valley guys who believe that because they have made a billion dollars by engineering better ways to harvest personal data online or make Mashable sidebar ads more clickable they are qualified to solve all of the world’s problems. While hunger and economic inequality have yet to be tamed, oddly enough The Valley has been remarkably successful of solving all of the problems inherent to being a twentysomething Valley Guy with tons of disposable income.

Couldnโ€™t have said it better myself.
