Dear Rational Optimist,
As the creator and curator of Pessimists Archive, Louis Anslow has documented more tech hysteria than anyone else I know.
I recently caught up with Louis to discuss the “seven deadly cynics” that hold back every new technology—and how they threaten the future of AI.
In our interview you’ll hear:
7 groups working to kill the future
Why fear-mongers never pay for being wrong
How TikTok just leveled the playing field
Why kids love tech (and elites hate it)
This “pyramid of progress” beats pessimism

A transcript of our conversation is available here.
