I would like a response from the "many in the financial and economics community who see SV and PG as kind of a joke" as to why they invest in and exploit the tech sector (they know what NASDAQ is, I hope) and yet treat it as a joke? Do they think they are successful jocks versus socially maladapted geeks and nerds? Seriously, computers have taken over finance and expert systems will soon do a better job than humans managing economic systems as large as countries - how do the jocks react when they are told that they will be mere clerks to machines?

Not that I agree much with PG or the HN posse these days but I'm curious to know about their reaction to the inevitability of the jocks being the first casualties of business management automation
