Striking paragraph:
But that doesn’t matter to the Builders. What matters, to a degree, is the boldness of the idea and the process of the thought experiment. The Builder mindset often eschews policy completely and focuses on the macro issues, rather than the micro complexities. It is a mindset that seeks to find very elaborate, hypothetical-but-definitely-paradigm-shifting, futuristic technology to fix current problems, instead of focusing on a series of boring-sounding and modest reforms that might help people now.
Reminds me both to Refusing To Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants and of course, Boring Technology.
