Silicon Valley Disease
[edit]Silicon Valley Disease is a term used to describe a mindset observed in certain Silicon Valley circles, characterized by a misplaced sense of superiority and the belief that one's own group has a monopoly on innovative ideas. Proponents of this view tend to dismiss or devalue external innovations, often attributing them to unethical practices[1]. This attitude is considered detrimental to scientific and technological progress, which historically has relied on the open exchange of ideas and collaborative development.
