There's a fair bit to like about this, and it's roughly aligned with my worldview: that, on balance, technology and market forces are a force for good; and that there is a little bit too much techno-pessimism abound that has led to bad outcomes (such as the relative lack of nuclear power). I think it's generally under appreciated just how good things are. The world, overall, is getting continuously better (Factfulness by Hans Rosling demonstrates this better than any other source I've come across). Then again, there are bits of it which are a little bit strange - the enemies section, for example. SV could "move fast and break things" previously, but with its size, power and influence, it probably needs to take a slightly more "win friends and influence people" approach. But most of all, it is a little bit contrary to some of a16z most high profile recent investments: Clubhouse, NFTs, web3. It's hard to see how these investments and products align with building towards abundance. I wonder if he's spent a little too much time away from the hands-on detail, where the next tech innovation will probably happen.
