A great introduction to some of the work of both Bloom and Mill . Plus , your description of reading the great books as an engagement with the broad project of civilization is inspiring.
Simply giving your attention to our foundations is a kind of communion.
Framing Silicon Valley as heirs to this project also helps clarify the importance of that enterprise (especially in light of the 'Three City problem').
I would have liked to see Cynthia Haven mentioned here as she's been part of the Silicon Valley book-intellectual scene for how many decades? Or Zena Hitz. Though it is nice that tech men too are appreciating the canon. :)
This was wonderful. @henryoliver
