I think it's pretty ignorant from both Thiel and Andreessen to put cryptocurrency and AI on the political spectrum.
And generally I doubt the usefulness in classifying things into right and left.
At the polar ends of each are people that have conflicting norms on how the world should work. These usually arise once again through ignorance as a norm carries the expectation to be accepted by everyone.
To someone that has worked in the tech of cryptocurrency, all I'm saying is that I'm not particularily interested in the left/right drama. Let's hope it never catches on.
In my opinion these narratives are just created because somehow they'll serve Thiel and Andreessen to run a more specific story that they can use to increase their wealth.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoI agree it would be nice, I think right/left is not so much a set of ideologies as an advertising campaign that has taken on a life of its own. That said, I think one feature of that campaign is that every party will have to have a position on things affecting the population, crypto eventually being one of those.
- diroussel 5y agoIt's also a very strange characterisation of left and right wing. In the UK centralisation is thought to be right wing, and consensus is considered left wing.
