The Techno-Optimist Manifesto | Andreessen Horowitz
web.archive.org
We are told that technology is on the brink of ruining everything. But we are being lied to, and the truth is so much better. Marc Andreessen presents his techno-optimist vision for the future.

I don’t really have much to say… it kind of speaks for itself. I do appreciate the table of contents so you don’t get lost in the short paragraphs though

      I already liked the piece, but the cynicism on display here makes me like it better. It may have struck a nerve, which is usually a positive indicator that a set of ideas is hitting something in the zeitgeist.

      I really like this comment. It’s so versatile it lets you smugly brush off any criticism.

      While my general response to that HN thread, like my response to pmarca’s school shooter manifesto, is "I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened”, I am grateful to the orange siters for calling attention to the goatse in the social media preview image. WTF?

      I mean I guess that makes it more explicitly bait.

        I am borderline awestruck that pmarca managed to write a piece that even they are calling bullshit on.
