I tend to agree. I don’t follow his thinking at all.

It comes down to whether you think we escaped history or not.

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.

Agreed, but is Chamath a sociopath?

I don’t like to get personal but here are some signs of sociopathy:

Manipulation

Deceit

Lack of empathy

I think it's very fair to say he partook in manipulation and deceit, when it comes to his spacs, that's for sure.

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.
