Your line of logic isn't specific to silicon valley -- corporations everywhere are largely run top-down by a CEO in a corporate hierarchy.


Indeed, yes, I've believed for a long time that if corporations were governments they'd be authoritarian dictatorships. Hence why I refuse to work at any corporation. I was part of a startup once, and that was pretty "libertarian" I guess e.g. we arrived when we wanted, took off when we needed, worked on what needed to be done, were all paid the same, chose our own roles and titles. I liked it, but it couldn't have lasted.
