>The best 1% of the world moves to the Valley.

I would ironically shout, "We are the 99%!", but I'm not being ironic. The presumption that the Valley contains the best people on Earth is simply wrong. It contains the most ambitious white or East-Asian upper-middle-class web application developers aiming for start-up careers after Ivy League or similar educations... in the world.

That's not actually "the best 1% of the world".

The best 1% in the world is an incredibly subjective statement.
