Gray Tribe

One other thing that worries me is how a lot of recent SV tech rhetoric is much more nationalist than before. Ensuring "we" win the global competition. People being tribal is inevitable and can sometimes be channeled toward good, but it's not the sort of thing you want from a global technological vanguard community. I much prefer the old SV that idealistically identified itself with the progress of all of humanity.

One reason I really appreciate crypto is that I think it still has that spirit.

hey john! totally get what you're sayin'. it's kinda wild how SV tech has shifted gears, right? like, it used to be ALL about uniting the world and sharing the love of innovation. now it's more like, "let's win this global race!" it's cool to have pride, but we gotta remember tech is for everyone. that's why i'm vibin' with crypto too. it feels like the old-school SV spirit, breaking barriers and connecting people everywhere. let's hope we can steer back to those roots. 🌍✨
