Is this just a very roundabout way to diss America without getting Americans angry? I mean, Denmark is a capitalist country. Chiang puts it down as some sort of socialist utopia, which it isn't. Sure, there's a functioning social welfare state and the government is not that corrupt, and that's great. But the tax cuts for Maersk are the same kind of capitalist regulatory capture / lobby driven corruption you see elsewhere. Also, my impression of the average Dane is that they're super conservative and will vote against any idea that deviates from the status quo (source: Danish in-laws). Mind you, that's a pretty sensible position given that the status quo ain't half bad. But I wouldn't be surprised if Danes are just as afraid/skeptical of tech and AI as the average American. (Note: "conservative" on English language forums is sometimes translated to "loves guns and Jesus, hates abortion and gays". That's not the kind i mean, i mean afraid of change. This does include fear of immigrants in the Danish case though)
