As Citygirl made clear, she was not unable to sustain business in AR, she has chosen not to based on having better choices.
Why will I still do business there? Because my business model is different. This doesn't mean I'll make AR the hub of my LAM business, but I'll do some business there as long it makes sense because I enjoy BsAs.
As for my superiority complex, I never mentioned the words BETTER or BRAIN. Simply, the best predictor of the future is the past. And I have some insight into where funding exists for entrepreneurial ventures and where it does not. So saying that it's likely that Silicon Valley companies are going to contribute to the next big things that will provide work in developing nations is, well, obvious.
Will great things come from other places? Sure. Leadership in everything is up for grabs in the new economy.
