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 …

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.

Even though you really like a piece, you can still argue with it, right? If I write something and people engage with it constructively, I think that's much preferable to when everybody just says "this is great". I like making people think.
