Mfw splitting the atom, entering space, stepping in the moon, etc. wasn't radical or revolutionary:

*scientists figure out faster-than-light travel*

Me, an intellectual: Clearly not revolutionary because I can't use my mass transit (heh) ticket on it

I sense sarcasm, but you are literally, unironically, correct.

If faster than light travel does not change the material conditions of the ordinary person, then it's not radical or revolutionary - it's just another toy for the rich and/or dick measuring tool for governments to boast about.

I think you're using those words differently from how people usually use them. Because most would consider FTL travel a pretty radical and revolutionary breakthrough lol

[–] Gladaed 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There is a but of truth in that. But FTL travel may reduce costs due to formerly inefficient due to distance sources becoming plausible. Even if it is not available to the average Joe. A lot of advances in tech reduced the distance of objects e.g. ships and carts.

[–] andymouse@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes... and what good it did everyone to reduce the distance of objects... Sometimes distance is good. Gives me time to think about why I'm really going there in the first place.

It enables shipment of fresh vegetables and foreign foodstuffs and massively reduces xenophobia because the others aren't from a land far far away. Also it enables exploitation of the most efficient ore sources instead of those that are close.

Yeah I like driving, but manufacturers need to bring prices down who has $100k to spend on a car

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

China invented a few electric cars that are just as good as a Tesla for 1/3rd the price. Our benevolent plutocrats responded by putting a 100% tariff on Chinese electric cars.
