This is lovely, but too US-centric. Replace USA with "the world" and I'm all in. Us as a society building amazing things and technologies is one of my core values, but so is a united and open world.https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/1251634412334141440 …

@pmarca almost only talks about the US throughout the whole text. A fantastic country which I'm happy to have moved to, but I care about the rest of the world too.
Is it not ambitious enough to address the country of 330 million people in which you live, where you're a citizen, where *you* do your work? The ideas generalize. Admittedly, I'm exhausted by all the half-assed sniping at this piece. I know it's twitter, but can we just not?

I'm trying to imagine this piece stripped of the relatively few examples and references to concepts like the American dream, and as far as my limited imagination stretches it only weakens the piece. Are we allowed no color? No personal attachments or identity? Like, come on.

Look, I started my first tweet with "this is lovely". I really like the vision and the piece. And I have nothing against American examples. I just would have liked some acknowledgement that the US is not all there is in the world and that we can all be part of this vision.
