Interesting essay, but more of a feel good elite speak that anything else. Feels like he skips over the main part on why "building" anything is difficult. That is because we have worshipped at the altars of capitalism for so long that we worship our one true god - SHAREHOLDER VALUE. This is not some rocket science on why we offshore, or why we invest in photo filter apps. Because that generates most returns in capital and creates much larger shareholder value. Building flying cars do not. Looks how much capital was required for Tesla to produce at any scale. And it is still struggling, what 15 years after it was founded ? Now look at Facebook, which was founded at the same time.
