No! That's a good bet, and I'd put money on it - for my heirs to collect the winnings. It will take a while, but The Limits To Growth will not be gainsaid. Techno-narcissism is already proving how hollow it is, in the face of the non-negotiable geo-physical realities. That will become more acute, and more undeniable whilst we watch. And there's Sod's Law on top, too, which pretty well guarantees that there will be more unintended disasters attending the SDC bollocks, as there already have been. A couple of gold sovs. says we shall never have self-driving cars as a common-place thing. And I'll throw in no universal conversion to leccy-cars if you like. Oh, and AI controlling everything. Another piece of techno-narcissm that seems highly unlikely ever to become a norm of human society. Decent period of testing. Name your timescale.Stakes held in escrow until judgement time is reached. Seriously! When you read the appropriate signals aright that the world is giving us, it becomes a very good odds bet - for my heirs...  |
