"Check out today’s satori-inducing video with Fred Turner – Stanford Professor, acclaimed author, and expert in Silicon Valley counterculture. He says, “The distance between the Grateful Dead and Google, between Ken Kesey and the computer is not as great as we might think.” Zen takes center stage as Turner shows its powerful influence from early cyberculture to today’s Valley. Watch Turner trace the Valley’s direct lineage from the cyber-pioneers who were also think partners with Zen. | |||
“Because of [the Valley’s] exposure to Zen, Eastern philosophy, beat and hippie culture, this area values experience and values machines that make experiences very differently than other areas might. You can be an intellectual out here and make technology—that’s a neat thing!” | |||
