@darkside2030 If Iran charges $1 per barrel moving forward, here's the line: "Hell yeah. Finally, we (USA) don't have to pay for all the rebuilding. Have at it Iran, best of luck kid. To the rest of world: have fun, it's your problem now, we literally don't need to import oil anymore"

Would love to hear from @bchesky on this. A nuanced issue around the reality that, how we say words matters, and historically "tech" (software tech aka information technology aka IT people ;) has been great at shooting itself in the foot with comms. Making it easy for NYT wordcels to exploit antagonsitically, and ultimately making it easy for the general public (whom I genuinely believe a lot of tech people want to create value for) to disfavor technological progress; to (maybe unknowingly) be against / not support the very technological advancement which itself could truly bring about the very (very literal, very possible) "Abundance" that no human on earth would deny to their children (if the option was easily at hand). Ironically (given the original post), I'm almost certain that @pmarca and @a16z (and maybe even my friend @katiekirsch ?), with their recent manifesto on "New Media", would agree whole heartedly with this (now long rambling) take I've expressed.

@bchesky @pmarca I must admit, I resent the phrasing "people who actually have the power to build" as used here. For the common reader, it suggests that said people could actually build something if they tried. That, of course, would be a gross misstatement. Please see x.com/elGabrielC/sta…

For the uninitiated (of which there seem to be many), the joke here is that "Abundance" is a watered down, poor translation of what SV has been saying (and creating) for the last 20+ years (minimum). @pmarca wrote the essays years ago. Ironically though, per @bchesky 's comment, it has served a valuable purpose as a "For Dummies" text for the NYT crowd. That same crowd also happens to comprise the large part of the government / political bureaucracy that DECIDES who is ALLOWED to build; picking winners from amongst the set of people who *actually* have the power (the ABILITY) to build.

@Beechwood_Ben @bchesky @pmarca You are correct, and I agree. See my quoted reply. I'm simply making a point that we shouldn't give those zoning "people in power" the honor of being called (or confused for) "people who actually literally *build*".

My strategy to bury “Abundance” by loudly praising it upon publication seems to have worked.
