Techno-Optimism
Treats technological innovation, energy abundance, and market competition as central means of improving material life. The influential 2023 manifesto argues against policies and attitudes it sees as restraining technological progress.
Reference boundary: A broad outlook and a particular manifesto are not identical. It is not inherently an extremist doctrine or a complete theory of government.
Foundational doctrines
- Technological innovation
- Material abundance
- Market competition
Disagreement and variation
Optimism does not establish that a specific technology’s benefits outweigh its harms or that markets will distribute gains fairly. Governance, labor, environmental costs, and public accountability remain questions that technological capacity alone cannot answer.
