There's an unbelievably massive divergence in vibes between my IRL friends and my terminally-online crypto friends

Most of my IRL frens lean liberal and are acting like the world is imploding... they're psychologically rekt, scared and angry

Meanwhile, crypto frens feel free at last and are utterly captivated by what's happening in tech, space, AI, etc. Honestly, never felt so bipolar/started questioning my own sanity so deeply

But under all the political strife, the economic weirdness, and the bizarre philosophical questions that AI is forcing us to confront lies one simple fact: technological change continues to accelerate

The battle is no longer left vs. right... this generation's war = technologists vs humanists/luddites

People have different values that underlay their political opinions. Important to remember those values are not wrong just because they don’t 100% align with yours. Chanting “accelerate” won’t change people’s values.

It’s also possible to be optimistic about your personal future and pessimistic about the state and direction of the world.
