Glancing at Jason Crawford’s latest post “In the shadow of the great war”, I was pondering about the hypothesis that people are less optimistic about the effects of technological growth – which seems like a very reasonable change in perspective considering the many negative side effects that have occurred from technological growth in the past century or so.
This gets me thinking about how we can restore people’s optimism in technological growth, and eliminating negative externalities seems vital to create an environment where people can be safe in supporting future technological growth. This is a big reason why I feel quadratic funding is such an important tool for the well-being of future humanity.
