I mean, I hate to sound like utopic tech bro here, but if you'll excuse me for three seconds.

We can make the world amazing.

More profound than fire or electricity or anything that we have done in the past.

You would prefer the human race to endure, right?

You could absolutely colonize the whole galaxy.

Is this going to be a little private fiefdom run by these venture capitalists?

What do they really want?

What makes a man to wander?

Can we print out these online communities of gigantic scale into the physical world?

The idea is somehow they'll find land, push out the people that they don't want, who they call the blues, and keep the people that they do, who he calls the grays,

I think for a long time, tech considered itself sort of searching for new frontiers.

And in recent years, they're starting to look for literal frontiers.

Rather than kind of reform or change existing institutions, a lot of tech elites want to either replace them entirely or create their own alternatives.

It's kind of the ideological groundwork for a lot of these efforts to make new cities or communities or kind of self-run polities.
