> You Don’t Believe In Free Markets And Free Speech If You’re Demanding Criminal Charges Against People For Their Free Market, Free Speech Decisions


Marc Andreesen has disconnected himself from reality. I wish him well, but bad things tend to happen to people who find themselves in such situations.


As much as I appreciate the sentiment, it is starting to look like bad things happen to OTHER people when the extremely powerful get disconnected from reality. I feel like Marc Andreessen falls into the "bad things will happen to other people" category here.


In the short-term I think you're right.


As Keynes said, "In the long run, we are all dead".

Maybe Andreesen will manage to live long enough for life-extension stuff to really get going. But when you're a billionaire, there's a good chance you're gonna die before your stupid choices can do enough damage.


Guy is such a turd
