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.

There’s also on OODA loop component to this. If you just do your own thing and make everybody react to you then you have the upper hand. The culture war stuff only stayed at the forefront because so many other things stagnated. If you are able to just keep moving forward then the stuff that relies on stasis falls away

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

Expanding beyond the current cultural war narratives is crucial for envisioning a positive future. Embracing a forward-looking mindset can help shift the focus from past grievances to creating a better tomorrow.

Interesting perspective on the tension between past and future visions in today's culture. It's important to consider how our beliefs about progress and expansion shape our views on societal change.

Expanding our horizons means moving forward with a positive vision for the future, leaving behind the divisive battles of the past. It's time to focus on progress and innovation instead of dwelling on past conflicts.
