"the jackass rubs the jackass" 

 Mark Andreessen is a criminal idiot and egoist billionaire. And his followers are no better. Libertarianism and Ayn Rand, how we hate you. As if Elon Musk appartheid nostalgia, thanks his daddy for that, wasn't enough... Guess who planted the idea of an (imaginary) white genocide in South Africa into Trump head ? which led to Ramaphosa humiliation at the White House, Zelensky style. As if Trump gave a shit about South Africa before: despite the pretty obvious name he would be unable to point it on a world map.  

One startling example of Andreessen arseholery resides at  https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/   His pseudo is thespacecow - but I have rebranded him thespaceclown.

He is the most agressive, stupid jerk I've ever met on a discussion forum. And yes, he has Andreessen techno-optimist manifesto as his signature. ACC ? ASS would be more appropriate. Check by yourself.

Mercifully thespaceclown is periodically humiliated by smart members like Eeergo, the legendary Jim of "NO" answer fame, and also VSECOTSPE, all in the pseudo: a former member of the OMB in the 2000's who help kickstarting COTS in 2006 - the best thing happened to NASA manned spaceflight since Apollo 11.

 Not related to ass... accelerationism is Robotbeat - that one I rebranded him Robotbitch, for all too obvious reasons. I tracked down his real name and job, but no doxxing from me, thanks. Just saying that, if all NASA engineers have the same abrasive and insufferable behaviour, it is no surprise the space agency has stagnated since Apollo. 

Robotbitch is, first and foremost, extremely smug and arrogant. The kind of narrow minded (religious) dickhead that can't stand to lose an argument - and will go to the deep end of bad faith and ad hominems. 

Two startling examples: COSPAR Mars contamination directives, and more recently, a debate over Pluto status as a former planet. Debating these subjects on NASAspaceflight forums has became almost impossible.
