Perhaps the fanboys here could understand the desperation most of the world still lives in, even today!!!
- paradite 10y agoHe might have a valid point but the point is off-topic. Here the context is technology, not politics or economic policies.
- petra 10y agoNot really. Many discussions here are about politics and economic policies, which btw are important forces for some enterpreneurs to be aware of.
- paradite 10y agoApologies. What I mean is the interview's context is technology (what you would expect from YC and Elon Musk). Hence, his answer to the questions would naturally be about technology rather than other important aspects of human civilization.
- astazangasta 10y agoHaha, yes, technology has nothing to do with politics or economics, of course.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoFocus. Some people want to focus on the tech side. If you want to focus on politics side, go ahead and do it. I understand the technology focus though, policy is probably the worst possible use of your time if you want to help, and it carries a great risk of turning you into an evil person.
- astazangasta 10y agoThere is no "tech side" or "politics side", it's all the same fucking side. You can't create the Internet without vast political consequence. You can't indefinitely extend life without the same. Every human action is steeped in political and social consequence.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoYou can't create tech without political consequence, no. But there are "sides" in a sense that tech can be driving changes in policy. So you can use tech to make political changes without getting directly involved in all the mess the politics is.
