Bearish on YCs turn to the military industrial complex. It basically means that they've given up on trying to create 0-to-1 paradigm shifting products and would rather sucks on the pentagon's teat.

Also double edged sword… yes, we need the Andurils of the world on our side for deterrence. OTOH, Silicon Valley is both becoming more powerful, while also acquiring a profit motive for war.

I think of it less as a us versus them; more just that defense is going to exist

Things are not often black and white. It’s hard to talk about these things with clarity except that threat of conflict will often be with us as long as we are human

Yes, it will be and always has been with us. War has shaped our minds and societies far more deeply than we usually care to admit.

Going to log off now (as was already the plan, not a side effect of this exchange). Might reach for 'the origins of political order' now tho.
