From the latest Paul Graham essay, called "How To Be Silicon Valley":

However, merely creating a new university would not be enough to start a silicon valley. The university is just the seed. It has to be planted in the right soil, or it won't germinate. Plant it in the wrong place, and you just create Carnegie-Mellon.

Ow. So harsh. So true.

Good essay. Very good essay.
