What an evil perspective to have. The same perspective of those who think if you aren't exporting violence to other countries you're an "Isolationist"
This can be whitled down to: "We need to be able to kill everyone and if not, be able to buy them. Or else, our country will fail."
Disgusting.
I tend to agree. I don’t follow his thinking at all.
I recommend reading the begginign chapters of Jason Lowery's Softwar.
What Chamath is saying, to me makes sense. It connects to the Power Projection theory.
I actually have read this but haven’t thought about it in a while. I can see this argument for sure. I’m just highly skeptical of tech bros who are now trying to take over the military industrial complex.
But, it’s not lost on me that we need to be able to defend ourselves.
I definitely agree with you that we should be skeptical of them
Sociopaths who correctly reference realities (power projection, military industrial complex) are still sociopaths.
It's a demonstrably false supposition. Supremacy is by definition a singular position. What about the other 195 countries? They just aren't countries? They can't survive? It's just a false notion that you can't exist in the world without subjugating the rest of it. You CAN just peacfully trade and specialize for a cohesive improvement to humanity. Governments will never understand this.
