Joshua Achiam(@jachiam0):Too many in Silicon Valley believe that "success" for humanity means controlling the largest possible share of matter and energy in the universe, which is a task that seems well beyond human limits, and because of this they gradually collapse into being successionists. If instead they understood success in human existence as coming from our inner lives, relationships, creativity, cooperation, and the greatness we can exhibit in the struggle to overcome our limitations, maybe they would not be so pessimistic.
