After a tip and some research it turns out Alexander Denys Lyon Wilkinson went to the school of the elite because his family IS the British elite.
1. Two uncles in the Victorian Order(knighthood) and daddy was a Member of Parliament for 3 decades.
5. Alex Wilkinson liked to portray himself as an "everyman" and appealed to them with his posts.

The truth is he went to the school of the British aristocracy, Eton. He moved between two continents at will, like all average Joes. pic.twitter.com/dhhdOTp6MX

1. The death of Silicon Valley, a thread
How did Silicon Valley die? It was killed by the internet. I will explain.
Yesterday, my friend IRL asked me "Where are good old days when techies were
2. In the "good old days" Silicon Valley was about understanding technology. Silicon, to be precise. These were people who had to understand quantum mechanics, who had to build the near-miraculous devices that we now take for granted, and they had to work
3. Now, I love libertarians, and I share much of their political philosophy. But you have to be socially naive to believe that it has a chance in a real society. In those days, Silicon Valley was not a real society. It was populated by people who understood quantum mechanics
4. Then came the microcomputer revolution. It was created by people who understood how to build computers. One borderline case was Steve Jobs. People claimed that Jobs was surrounded by a "reality distortion field" - that's how good he was at understanding people, not things
5. Still, the heroes of Silicon Valley were the engineers. The people who knew how to build things. Steve Jobs, for all his understanding of people, also had quite a good understanding of technology. He had a libertarian vibe, and so did Silicon Valley
