Wrong. The standard unit of ego is the microtrump. A full trump is way too big for any practical use. That would be like expressing the power of your lawnmower motor as 1.2e-34 solar outputs.

The article makes no argument to support its assertion that silicon valley will continue be a unique technology center. In fact, the article does make several compelling observations and cites trends that would portend just the opposite--a diaspora of tech development.
The specific SV boom from 1960-1990 was a concatenation of unique events. There is nothing unique to the geography that will keep tech in SV.

Among bureaucratic institutions, school boards are uncannily consistent in choosing the worst of several policy directions. Fortunately their decisions are not important or anything.
Unsavory, villainous, disreputable roles (e.g. Richard III, Lady Macbeth, Iago) are highly coveted by serious actors and the results are often gripping, fascinating, illuminating and entertaining. Heroes are boring.
Lots of folks confuse bad management with destiny. -- Frank Hubbard
