I’ve rarely seen anyone who needs to shut up and smoke a joint as much as Marc Andreessen. His boyish enthusiasm is only rivaled by his privilege blindness. He means well.
He’s so close to getting it and yet not quite there. People rail about technology because it brings change and PEOPLE HATE CHANGE. Yes technology is the foundation of our society blah blah but it is also bringing an ever accelerating rate of change which constantly disrupts lives and makes it nearly impossible to just live and know what to expect tomorrow.
Marc trumpets to the sky that our society was built on technology! Yeah, at the cost of irreversible damage to the environment that has already brought on the anthropocene mass extinction, which may very well get us, too.
We have clean energy technology? Great! Now come up with a technological solution that will get it fully adopted. 200 years ago. Developed economies have brought us to the brink. And developing economies still built on coal are inevitably going to push us over the edge.
Come up with technological solutions to that, you tumescent manchild.
