Remember a few months ago when a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck in the waters near northern California? This was in mid-late December, I think. For a brief time, no more than thirty minutes to an hour, there was a tsunami warning for the area. Care to guess what was going through my head? "Please, please, please let it take out Silicon Valley."
To my mind, Silicon Valley is basically the modern equivalent of Sodom and Gomorrah, and I ain't talking about homosexuals or sex of any sort at all. For what it's worth, the mythical Sodom and Gomorrah weren't wiped out for sexual practices either; they were destroyed because of how they treated strangers and the poor. Silicon Valley is the source of the wealth of most of today's oligarchs. It is where the surveillance panopticon is built. It is the source of the insurgent wealth that is destroying the USA right now: the same insurgent wealth that is a clear and present danger to the world. Like all of the evil cities that preceded it, such as Nineveh, or Babylon, or Rome, Silicon Valley's days are numbered. Woe betide it, for someday, all will curse it, and it shall be called Silicon Desolation.
