    Give it 200ish more years and society might have advanced far enough to have them, but humanity isn’t ready for this yet.

    Capitalists pushing the future so they look like visionaries, being completely at the ready to hide the damage, liabilities, deaths, and failures that the technology creates.

      The one thing humanity has proved to me in my lifetime is that we will never achieve lofty goals like autonomous flying cars.
