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.

That's what I'm here for. I believe humanity has to unite to solve our collective problems together and somehow get through all of the crises facing us like nuclear weapons, climate crisis and related issues like water problems and mass migration, power centralization / capitalism / imperialism / whatever you want to call it... We have to be able to adapt beyond wars. Nationalism is a dead end for humanity.
