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

    I figured out this manifesto exists because somebody from the EFF posted: “Nothing depresses me like the knowledge that I am going to have to spend some of my precious workday reading a manifesto.” So expect a lot of sanity damage.

    (Read the opening, yep, got 1d8 from that already. I’m raising the ‘the invention of letters was a mistake’ flag).

        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.”
