One of the key dynamics of the modern era is the result of a conflict between the old beauracracy on wall street and the rising aristocracy of silicon valley tech executives. While wall street controls the flow of money, silicon valley controls the flow of information. The secret algorithms of social media companies like youtube are their primary source of power, and to control the algorithm means to have a massive ability to manipulate public opinion and control the public mind. I believe its only a matter of time until silicon valley emerges as the victor of the current conflict.
