SBF's both parents teach at Stanford. You can imagine the 'values' they teach.

As a former FTE in the business & auxiliaries and the academic sides, can confirm Stanford is unlike most universities because of the slavish fixation on research secondary to building a startup for a big exit. This is in addition to the usual monetization of research by most institutions' licensing departments selling hard work to companies cheap without researchers or employees benefiting.

Could it be Silicon Valley's favorite without those attributes?

With the current elites of SV, it doesn't seem to be very accidental to me neither.
