SECRET TWO

That’s a GOOD thing.

virtual.

Ten Secrets from Silicon Valley (that everyone should know)

Notas del editor

  1. http://www.venture51.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/330_LandscapeInfographicFinal.png
  2. EVERYBODY ASKS THIS. SO FAR NO ANSWERS. I’VE TALKED TO PEOPLE AND VISITED PLACES WHERE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, MAYBE MORE, HAVE BEEN INVESTED IN CREATING THE FRAMEWORK FOR CREATING A “NEW VALLEY.” THEY MAY HAVE ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS THEY CAN IDENTIFY IN PLACE, BUT YEARS LATER…THEY’RE STILL WAITING. UNLIKE THAT MOVIE THAT SAYS “IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME,” REPLICATING SILICON VALLEY HASN’T WORKED THAT WAY. IF YOU BUILD IT, ALL YOU’VE DONE IS BUILD IT, AND IT’S A WASTE OF TIME AND TALENT TO THINK THAT THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT THAT UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS WILL REPLICATE ITSELF. BY THE WAY, IF IT DID REPLICATE ITSELF, IT WOULD BE THE WRONG EXPERIMENT, SO LET’S BEGIN WITH THIS SECRET….
  3. REPLICATION SUGGESTS THAT THERE’S SOME CONFLUENCE OF PEOPLE AND ENERGY AND HISTORY AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE THAT CAN “CLONE” SILICON VALLEY AND VOILA, ALLOW IT TO BE REBORN. WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT ANYWAY? IT’S ALREADY BEEN DONE, AND DONE BY PEOPLE WHO WERE BORN AND RAISED IN A VERY DIFFERENT WORLD THAN THE ONE WE LIVE IN – AND SEE AHEAD – TODAY. AS SCIENCE SHOWS, EVEN OBSERVING AN EXPERIMENT CHANGES THE OUTCOME OF THE EXPERIMENT – SO THERE’S NO WAY TO RECREATE IT ANYWAY.
  4. SILICON VALLEY SHOULDN’T BE REPLICATED. WE ALREADY HAVE ONE. AND NOT ALL OF IT IS THE WAY WE’D MAKE IT IF WE DESIGNED IT TODAY. WE’VE PAID A PRICE. IN CULTURE, IN COST OF LIVING, IN BECOMING TOO SELF-REFERENTIAL, IN SUSTAINABILITY. BY “SELF REFERENTIAL” I MEAN WE’RE SO IMPRESSED WITH OUR OWN SUCCESS THAT WE’RE OVER-OPTIMIZING TO REPLICATE IT. THAT CHANGES THE WAY WE OPEN OURSELVES TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES, THE WAY WE ISOLATE OURSELVES, AND EVEN THE WAY WE POINT THE NEXT GENERATION TOWARD SUCCESS. I WORRY ABOUT THAT – IT’S DERIVATIVE – AND IT’S NOT AS INTERESTING AS ORIGINAL THOUGHT.
  5. We’re not the end game. The game is only starting.
  6. We’re not the end game. The game is only starting.
  7. We’re not the end game. The game is only starting.
  8. We’re not the end game. The game is only starting.
  9. HATCH PRINTER. THE 100-YEAR OLD GOO-GOO CLUSTERS. THE NEW GOOGLE OFFICE. A COMMUNITY GROWING BY DESIGN AND ATTRACTING PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO COME HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE.
  10. And in more and more places, really.
  11. BRCK in Kenya
  12. AND EVEN WITHIN THOSE VALLEYS, THERE MIGHT BE SEPARATE AND INTERCONNECTED SPECIALITIES. THOSE OF YOU IN PHYSICS PROBABLY THINK OF ENTAGLEMENT THEORY. IF YOU’RE IN BIOLOGY, MAYBE YOU THINK OF SUPERORGANISMS – YOU KNOW, LIKE SCHOOLS OF FISH OR FLOCKS OF BIRDS THAT SEEM TO ACT AS A SINGLE ORGANISM – OR COLONIES OF BEES THAT TOGETHER BUILD SOMETHING MUCH GREATER THAN ANY OF THEM COULD EVER IMAGINE ALONE. I WONDER…
  13. IF MAYBE WITHOUT REALLY KNOWING IT – ALTHOUGH ON SOME LEVEL MAYBE WE KNOW IT AND WANT TO BELIEVE WE’RE NOT ALONE IN WANTING TO BE PART OF IT. IN THE SAME WAY THAT FACEBOOK AND OTHER RECENT SOCIAL TECHNOLOGIES HAVE ALLOWED PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER MET TO ACTUALLY FORM LASTING AND MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS – AND HELPED FAMILIES AND AFFINITY GROUPS AND EVEN NEIGHBORS DEEPEND THEIR CONNECTIONS IN NEW WAYS – I WONDER ABOUT A DISTRIBUTED VALLEY, ONE THAT IS LOCATION-AGNOSTIC BUT STILL WORKS EFFECTIVELY AND COLLABORATIVELY ON CREATING SOMETHING OF IMPACT – ON FILLING A GREAT HUMAN NEED OR SOLVING A GREAT PLANETARY PROJECT. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS THOUGHT IS YOU CAN BE ANYWHERE AND BE PART OF THIS, AND THAT YOUR UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION CAN ACCELERATE THE SUCCESS OF THE GREAT SUPERORGANISM THAT’S BUILDING IT.
  14. THE CASE STUDY AS BEEN WRITTEN: THERE IS A WAY TO CHANGE THE WORLD, EVEN IN REAL TIME, THROUGH VISION, INNOVATION, AND COMMITMENT. IF WE’VE SEEN IT TO BE TRUE, HOW CAN WE APPLY THAT INSIGHT TO SOLVING THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE LOOMING TODAY, OR CREATING THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL BE MOST RELVANT TOMORROW? DIGITAL, SILICON, TECHNOLOGY: THESE ARE PART OF THE INNOVATION “STACK” THAT CERTAINLY HAVE THEIR PLACE IN OUR ADVANCEMENT AND THE FULLEST EXPRESSION OF OUR POTENTIAL AS PEOPLE AND AS A SPECIES. BUT WHAT ABOUT HEALTH? TRANSPORTATION? ECONOMIC OR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY? WHAT ABOUT LEARNING OR INSIGHT INTO THE HUMAN CONDITION OR ABILITY TO SHAPE PEACE? MAYBE ALL TECH IS IS A PLATFORM FOR THE NEXT TRUE INNOVATION – ONE THAT HELPS US BE BETTER AT THE FORCE FIELDS WE’RE ENGINEERED TO BE – AND THAT WORKING TOGETHER, MAYBE RIGHT HERE IN NASHVILLE, WE’LL BE THE AGENTS OF THAT REVOLUTION?
