But srsly to me it does feel like the future, because when I was a kid "by the year 2000" was synonymous with a glorious future of space hotels, undersea cities, moon bases... I can't believe we're a quarter of the way through the 21st Century and none of that has happened. On the plus side we did get really spiffy new ways to buy stuff we don't need with money we don't have, and fingertip access to pretty much all of human knowledge, which most of us ignore in our endless quest for entertainment. But oh well.

Fucked up thing is some of that has happened, but you need to have been born into generational wealth to be a part of those things. Ritchie Ricn is just moralisticly better version of Musk. Or at least a version less hooked on coach K
