Economics

The Richest Cities For Young People – 1980 versus now – A real eye-opener on how much has changed in 35 years.
On average once you hit 40 that’s your income peak – From this report, it makes it clear for most people that around 40 is when most folks hit their peak income.

Silicon Valley And Paradoxes

February 16, 2015 by Steven Savage

PuzzlePieces

I often find Michael O Church bracing reading. I don’t always agree with him (we differ both in levels of cynicism and other opinions) but he gets me thinking. Recently he’d posted about how places can’t and shouldn’t want to be the next Silicon Valley since it often didn’t have character, a real sense of place.

I don’t agree with him overall – but the difference is more the intensity of criticism. That got me thinking about Silicon Valley its traits, and living here. It’s a paradoxical place to live and one that can be confusing even when you live here awhile. Nearly a decade after my move I keep finding new facets to it.

Church’s article made me contemplate the way Silicon Valley doesn’t often make sense. What I came to realize is that’s the very nature of Silicon Valley – a mixed bag of paradoxes. Perhaps that’s what makes it what it is, it’s some kind of Schroedinger’s Region that’s one thing or another, letting it sometimes be two opposite things.
