the rest of the story is conservative think tanks and networks like Cato inviting these SV leaders to meet and talk about business with.... conservative media figures and leaders

@beccalew.bsky.social talks for a bit about the promise of the Microchip — I think the subtext here (the one I'm thinking about anyhow) is the parallel between the "promise of the Microchip" and the "promise of AI"

Lewis brilliantly takes us through the building of this conservative network -- biiig woof to this particular slide from me :
October 30, 2025 at 9:02 PM
She cites Brinkley in 1994 and the "problem of American conservativisn" and how there was a understanding that the hard right rejected technology (that they no longer do is implicit here)

here are the stars of this rise @beccalew.bsky.social will cover: Gilder, Jobs, Gates and someone I don't rec.

I really appreciate @beccalew.bsky.social use of slide design (smaller shorter text and big book covers/citations)

Lewis explained the Californian Ideology as a part of this and then outlines the "reactionary" right

apologies!! the background is true white and the font true black, I meant to say white/whiteish (the accent colour is picked up as pink, see screenshot)

this article does a better job of summing up the colour point I was trying to make uxmovement.com/content/why-...
