Maybe it's time for the pendulum to swing in the other direction in terms of regulation and all the things you mention, but I think this is why it sucks that all we have is a pendulum, and can't get people to talk like adults.
My gut has been that during the next administration there's going to be a fire sale on regulation, and we're in for some type of major bubble popping due to de-regulation ala the savings and loan crisis or 2008, not to mention probably numerous health crises in our future from less trust in vaccines and less regulation by the FDA.
But like, one side is rarely right about everything, so the fact that we have to choose between two extremes sucks.
Also, and I’m not saying Ben and Marc are wrong here, but I would have a healthy dose of skepticism towards anyone who says “the really core problem with our world is that we’re not doing this thing that would benefit me personally”.
Maybe we need more startup innovation, or maybe that’s just the thing the person heavily invested in startup innovation thinks.
My gut is business as usual in America, what we've been doing since the end of WWII, has come to an end. Biden was the last of the post-war era presidents.
Trump is a completely different animal with a completely different mindset and the majority of checks and balances to keep him in check have been removed. America is going to be fundamentally different as a result. Don't think we're going to have four years of Trump and then go back to the way things used to be. That's not going to happen. Too much will have been destroyed to easily go back. We're in new territory, we're at the dawn of a new era - and I'm afraid it's going to be a much darker era than the one we just left.
The FBI doesn't raid Amish farms for selling unpasteurized milk - that was the state of Pennsylvania's Department of Agriculture. The FBI only investigates federal crimes, and selling unpasteurized milk is not a federal crime. If the Amish voted for Trump believing that Trump could change the regulations of the state's Agriculture Department, then they're as poorly educated as they're believed to be.
The reason crypto is being regulated so much is multi-fold. One, people are getting scammed left and right. Two, crypto is really a debunked 19th century financial artefact masquerading as being "new" and "modern."
With regards to AI, let me ask you this - would you consider Trump and his sycophants to be the "wrong hands?" They're the people wielding the power and calling the shots now. What's to stop them from using the AI that they could make only available to them and using it to retain their own power?
As far as Trump "changing the game", that is true: he's putting know-nothings in position of considerable power. Trump has no idea how the government works, what it does, and how it does it, and you can bet your bottom dollar neither do the morons receiving appointments. Heck, Trump has no idea how a business works and how to run it successfully for the long term! The government will be destroyed due to their incompetence and arrogance. People will think that's great until it dawns on them what that really means. The states are woefully unprepared to take on the functions the federal government provides.
The upshot is China will be poised to take over the world's thought leadership. Maybe your startup could help us learn Mandarin?
Sorry to burst your utopian bubble but the real world we're actually building is distinctly dystopian in nature. Let me know how your tech startup is going to change that and how you think they're going to allow it to thrive.

The fact that two main parties emerge because of our method of voting is known as Duverger's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law)
