Honestly, it feels like being a tech bro requires you to have a brain defect where you read or see something meant to be a warning and it causes you to somehow interpret it as the best idea you’ve ever seen.
Basically sums up the last 20 years of Silicon Valley and their nonstop hopping from dumb to dumber to dumberest.
Also, unlike Elon, Heinlein cared more of the future of humanity beyond his own self-interest. Pretty much everything he ever wrote was preaching his ideas on how to make everything work better. Some of those ideas were kind of nutty, but he wasn’t proposing them in order to enrich himself.

Heinlein also had some interesting AI and immortal human themes in his works.
