    Billionaire seem to have a… unscientific view of a sci fi future.

    That’s cause due to network effects people who are making such projects are equivalent to grocers in qualification. Just were in the right place at the right time. They are not engineers, not philosophers. But since they’ve read and seen in sci-fi that they have to show something engineer-philosopher-like, they are doing all this bullshit.

    Our world’s problem is in these monopolies which should be busted. After they are busted, we’ll see a lot of goodness through the usual normal competition.

    And also I don’t think the sequence of events that led to the current state of things should be treated as some proof of “capitalism not working” or “computer-driven futurism being a dead end” or even “space travel not ever happening” or anything as radical. Every time is different. It’s like living all your life alone after one bad relationship.

    We should dream, and we should make, and we should try, and we should tell those who think it’s their “vision” or none to go kick rocks.
