Marc Andreessen Defends Innovation in Techno-Optimist Manifesto

➡️Civilization was built on technology, the embodiment of human ambition and achievement.

➡️Technology should be embraced as something we master—not something that masters us.

➡️Victim mentality in the face of innovation is unnecessary and self-defeating.

➡️America’s economic, cultural, and military strength depends on maintaining technological leadership.

➡️From trains and cars to microchips and neural networks, technology represents the ongoing adventure of human progress
