What did you think of Marc Andreessen's Techno-Optimist Manifesto? How you would frame crypto's relationship an optimistic, accelerationist outlook? https://a16z.com/the-techno-optimist-manifesto/

There's a lot I agree with - namely, that degrowth is bad, a lot of stagnationism that masks itself as caution and humility is actually a very anti-human force that needs to be directly opposed, but I also think there's a lot that it misses; namely, that the direction and order in which tech gets developed matters.

It think there's a mismatch between what has been stamped as "degrowth" by SV types so that they can rail against it and as climate scientists like Julia Steinberger use it. I do not see what's wrong with taking a step back and asking ourselves, as human race, what we're doing wrong and how it is affecting our future.

Agreed. Unfortunately this is where I part ways with Vitalik’s world view. I have lot of respect for him as a kind, conscientious, deeply intellectual person. But this techno-optimist, growth or die mentality is now pushing up against some very fundamental laws of Life and nature.

Yea it’s starting to be used as an insult against anyone questioning if market competition always produces optimal outcomes. Very us vs them mentality.
