Europe: Continent. From the tech optimist’s point of view, Europe is a bit like the US, but dumber. Since the US market is 1.5 larger with 75% of Europe’s population, Europeans must therefore be around half as intelligent and right as Americans. This is because in radical capitalism both intelligence and justice are equal to capital. Governed by a confusing crossover of local governments and the EU, Europe is considered a doomed, ridiculous, wrong place. Meanwhile the tech optimist’s moral duty is to ridicule Europe in defense of the Anglo-Saxon Adam Smith against the more continental Karl Marx.
