Brooks to Silicon Valley: Reach Across Divides, Build New Models for Listening

DETAILS: State of the Valley concluded with a keynote by columnist David Brooks (The New York Times, PBS NewsHour), who addressed the civic, relational, and moral crises shaping today’s political moment — crises that have been decades in the making. Exploring divisions around merit, income, education, and morality, Brooks stresses the need to restore the bonds that connect us. Despite challenges ahead, the nation will heal, but healing must begin with recognizing and respecting individuals, ensuring everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE: On March 7, the 2025 State of the Valley conference, Silicon Valley's annual town meeting, brought together leaders from all sectors to assess the region’s direction. Joint Venture's research team was joined onstage by local and regional experts and practitioners, culminating with a challenging, thought-provoking keynote by David Brooks. Statistics from the 2025 Silicon Valley Index revealed the region’s pressing challenges — from alarming wealth disparities to the growing struggle for affordable housing — sparking intense reflection, yet also fueling hope for a more inclusive, prosperous future.
