Abraham Lincoln, America’s First Tech-Lawyer
Abraham Lincoln was a huge technological optimist. He was the primary counterweight in the 19th century to the ideas of Malthus and Darwin.  The opening of the midwest to grain production was a huge rebuke at the time to Malthus&#x27;s overpopulation pessimism.  Lincoln wrote a number of speeches where he extolled the greatness of unlimited technological progress.  They were influential worldwide and inspired the trans-siberian railroad among other projects.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalreview.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;02&#x2F;abraham-lincoln-the-technology-president&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalreview.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;02&#x2F;abraham-lincoln-the-t...</a>
