So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?

    Proliferation of spaceships for everybody. Obsoleting the old paradigm we’ve all been artificially hog-tied to.

    Zero point energy, zero inertia propulsion, can print another of itself instantly, can sustain human life indefinitely, safe enough for a 2 year old to fly home in.

    Aim high.

    No need for these resource “wars” jingoism. No human cull necessary. Abundant resources and space.

    Overlap of tech that avails all space to us, as tech that allows clean sustainable efficient use of earthly resources.

      I heard recently that when there are high downvotes, it could be because “you’re over the target”.

      Especially with things like that.

      Why oh why would anyone be against that?

      A lot of TR-3B manufacturers around here, not liking the competition of superior tech obsoleting their industry? ;) LOL.

      We already have more than enough wealth on earth to feed and shelter all humanity, we don’t any absurd tech, though that would make it easier. Without substantial social changes though this advance would only benefit the elite.
