I hope your Memorial Day Weekend was filled with the company of family and friends around the barbecue grill. Well, that’s how we roll here in the Kansas City area.

As part of today’s Sunday Brunch Reads (and future ones), I’m including a Silicon Valley catchphrase. This management-speak observation is inspired by Tom Anderson’s thoughts regarding the satirical portrayal of the region from HBO’s television show, Silicon Valley. Anderson is the former President and Co-Founder of MySpace.

Here’s Anderson’s direct quote from a recent Vanity Fair article (note I added the formatting for emphasis):

It does ring true. I think the show’s most successful in highlighting the deluded self-perception of so many in the industry. “To make the world a better place,” is a running joke and one that struck me as the funniest. When I was a kid, everyone wanted to be in a band—that was the path to girls, adulation, money. By the time I’d reached college, everyone wanted to be a doctor or lawyer, for similar motivations. Now it’s dot-coms—start-up founders are the new rock stars; and the self-importance on display is obnoxious, especially when masked by fake altruism.

Your Sunday Brunch Silicon Valley Catchphrase of the Week: To Make The World a Better Place.
