On Palmer’s question “Is it heretical to believe we should keep expanding?” Yes but in an understated way. The status quo of 2010’s egalitarian culture war is a negative vision of the past (woke) vs a positive vision of the past (MAGA). They don’t really know what to make of a positive vision of the future because it kind of ignores the current fighting and just starts doing something else.

lol if that's what you think 'woke' is much of the culture war specifically in SV / tech was driven by susan fowler's essay which eventually resulted in travis getting booted from uber, palmer himself was caught up in gamergate which had a similar effect

In terms of how an ideology relates to the past/future I think woke as a negative vision of the past is pretty fair. It’s taking a specific lens to history and pointing out injustices and saying here’s what we should do to rectify them. It has ideas on what to do about the future but those ideas are more reactive & vindictive compared to say, colonizing Mars. Is that an unfair characterization?
