@th@social.v.st @karl@infosec.exchange i want established solutions to established problems
Gimme a wind turbine, veggie-first food, gimme free train rides etc
all of this has been invented a generation ago and we can switch once the [imaginary thing] has invented better
e. g. hyperloop is garbage and was never better than e. g. railroad
(and we knew the vacuum train idea is a dud centruries musk "invented" it (patented 1799 and shown to be a dud >50 years ago)
and yet the hyperloop hindered the california rail expansion

@th@social.v.st @karl@infosec.exchange assuming a hyperloop thing is invented tomorrow and it's better than trains until then we go all-in on trains assuming a better energy source is invented tomorrow great until then we go with wind / solar / storage / etc but UNTIL THEN we do that e. g. german politiclowns are obsessed by fusion power (the same party which starved fusion research funding now wants to start building today). should be obvious common sense (because it is) musk, cdu, etc are "ideology" to use their lingo
