VITALIK BUTERIN'S TECHNO-OPTIMISM

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Vitalik Buterin believes in a future that is vastly brighter than the present thanks to radically transformative technology. He rejects the idea that we should keep the world roughly the same as today but be less greedy with more public health care. Some technologies will reliably make the world better than other types of technology - we need active human intention to choose the directions that we want as the best outcome will not be achieved automatically.
