The perception of tech has changed; it is now seen as a mainstream career path, attracting conformists who prioritize job security and status over innovation.

For the last 25 to 30 years, tech has been the one vector of progress in our society where you can build new companies and do new things.

Back then, those interested in tech were often non-conformists who loved computers, not motivated by financial gains but by a passion for technology.

The winners in today's tech landscape are increasingly those that deliver the entire promise of technology directly to customers, rather than just providing tools for other businesses.

Technology tends to isolate us, making communities less interdependent and weakening social bonds, which is a significant issue in our modern lives.

In tech, we can identify exceptional talent, while larger institutions often fail to do so, leading to a preference for mediocrity.

In every decade, there's been a standout individual in their 20s leading the tech industry, but it seems harder for today's young innovators to reach that level of prominence.

While technology can distract from finding real truth, it also provides unprecedented access to collective knowledge and creativity, allowing us to live in an era of unprecedented creativity as people tap into the collective unconscious and build on it at a much faster rate.

People often feel a lack of purpose in their work, especially in tech, and many are looking for more meaningful contributions, such as those found in government service.
