Man who got rich exploiting technology wants us to be more optimistic about technology

Marc Andreessen's published a "Techno-Optimist Manifesto". For those blissfully unaware, Mr. Andreeseen is a big swinging dick of venture capitalism. Look up "tech bro wanker" in the dictionary and Marc's shit eating grin will stare right back at you. He's done nothing of value since Netscape's IPO in 1995 but is still considered important because he has a lot of money that he hands out as investments via his venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (aka a16z). Is it any surprise then, that a man who got insanely wealthy due to the "Techno-Capital Machine" (his words) is a big fan of said machine? There's nothing new here. It's 1990s era thinking before most of us knew any better.
