This is 100% on the mark, worth reading. Silicon Valley isn't in the tech business. Few people get rich by creating truly innovative new tech.

“Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”),.. Jesus directs himself to the man’s hearing first, since the gift of speaking depends upon the prior event of being spoken to. This is true of children; and reflects the mystery of the origin of human speech in the speaking of God.
