With all their ideas, billions, power and influence, the thing that stings the most for the SF plutocrats is that at the end of the day they couldn't beat a few hundred acid damaged hippies for control or win hearts and minds of a singe city. They failed. An astonishing and embarrassing defeat. They can't lead so they seethe, sow division, deflect, and finally dream up fantastical escape hatches, someplace new and safe where they can be free from all bogies, someplace they can escape their own failure. This time will be different, right?

I think Balaji is directionally right about economic fragility. But I have trouble buying into the decline of the west rise of the east narrative. China seems like a mirage. Their numbers I straight up don’t believe. Their cultural makeup doesn’t allow for the risk taking required by innovation. The seat of power in the west is the economic domination to which even the military serves. That hasn’t changed. But I enjoy reading his thought because it’s different and he could be right and I could be wrong. So it always feels like I’m learning.

It’s not about acid damaged hippies or plutocrats imo. Democrats control all the high population cities in America and they all take their lead from CA/NY pols.
