The Techno-Optimist Manifesto | Andreessen Horowitz
web.archive.org
We are told that technology is on the brink of ruining everything. But we are being lied to, and the truth is so much better. Marc Andreessen presents his techno-optimist vision for the future.

I don’t really have much to say… it kind of speaks for itself. I do appreciate the table of contents so you don’t get lost in the short paragraphs though

      yep, it's in there

      To paraphrase a manifesto of a different time and place: “Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no masterpiece that has not an aggressive character. Technology must be a violent assault on the forces of the unknown, to force them to bow before man.”

      Sorry I have no idea who you are talking about here. I was referring to Eva. (I saw her post and went 'wonder what that could be about' and then I saw this here and everything fell into place).

      Anyway, more ontopic, I wonder if this a sign our '20th century 2.0' replay has arrived at the futurist art movement? Or if that ship has long sailed and was more started by Land in the 90's.

      This time the art sucks.
