Tech vs finance: the social wars

Stay in view of the free updates

In STENDHAL Red and blackAnd it is a book that is not far from me, the colors refer to two paths. The first is the army. The other is the priesthood. The preparation is Bourbon Restoration France but it can be almost anywhere in the West, almost any time until the dawn of industry, this was the importance of these professions in the national system.

In our world, it is not difficult to name the ruling professions. It is technology and financing, Shirt and giletWhich first refused to graduate Ablest. It is for technology and financing that CEOs are interviewed for their reflections on politics and life. As the Google office in King’s Cross is approaching, London, an old financial center, is also a useful place to assess these distinct clans.

And to learn to prefer, on average, the financing company. There is a side facing the customer for this work-dinner, silver sales calls-which instill the minimum victory. In a large part of technology, the “customer” is a wide and clean year. So no such practice.

Note that although almost financial centers in the world, technology often chooses a low -density setting, such as the Santa Clara or Fens. Even Bangaluru is the city of India Garden. Some of this is a historical accident. But it is also the result, and perhaps the reason, from the different social technology. I do not need to give up the super -political turn of the sector here. Or the enthusiasm of Andrew Hopperman, which is led by health, which is the logical end point is a scandal from physical contact. Even on the warmer aspect of technology, which is effective altruism and people who suffer to do good, there is an effect of Beatrice Webb about human approach, as something to help instead. The real or possible achievements of technology on all of us may dwarf financing results. But on a drink? Give me Fx Bod Trade Body.

Another thing. Financing has more – don’t laugh now – humility. Specifically because banking services in particular have a bad name, at least after Loman, at least outside America, their practitioners must take great caution these days. People who get rid of the world tend to learn a kind of pre -emptive magic. (This is why the largest Snobs in Britain is alike, it is somewhat to be easier to be easier to respect from being present.

The “humble” does not mean interesting, of course. Not “suave”. Because I must reach ideas for a living, I will bear a lot for a conversation that puts the moment of Urika. So, which aspect is more motivated? The power of raw treatment for the technology minds I face makes me stand. But my test – I am still thinking about the discussion of the tube home? – They do not often meet them by bankers, editing, or less smoking professions. One of the problem is the impatience of the world of technology with history, which is inevitable when the major millennial companies do not precede. The result is to install with transient events and “trends” that a person with a broader lens may recognize as butter.

The other conversation defect is that the contradiction of the university stage that you see along the way from the local encryption to the billionaire category. Your brothers are hardly fortified. (“Putin only wants a warm water outlet.”) But something about belonging to the institution’s profession tends to take off the edge. The typical technology genius – adopted wonderfully, should be wonderfully, but in one way or another of excessive influence as automatic – strange on a young manufacture.

All ethnographic notes on these two tribes should be eligible, of course. For one reason, it can be difficult to determine technology and financing. (Where should we offer Sam Bankan the introduction?). However, the biggest change in the world of work since it entered is the relative decline of the other against the other as the status industry. If all the funding keeps is the social edge, you will find TECH a traveled deficit, besides payment and power, if it is also difficult to overcome.
