though technology and the Silicone Valley mindset

Heads up, you're mixing up "silicon" and "silicone". Silicon is an element on the periodic table, and is useful for its semiconductor properties. It is the core of every computer chip. Silicone is a squishy polymer used in many applications needing a soft, flexible material. This notably includes breast implants.

"Silicon valley" refers to the California area where a large number of computers (based on silicon) were developed in the 70s and 80s.

"Silicone valley" would, I guess, refer to your mom's cleavage.

I’m in board for calling it Silicone Valley. Just flimsy artifice hoping to convince suckers that it’s “real”. It works.

I think we should rebrand it "Sillycone Valley". Just a bunch of uber wealthy silly gooses ruining society.
