For real though I think transhumanism is great. But just the kind where you upload your consciousness to a computer. Because it's like the transporter problem from Star trek but way more obvious. It kills you dead do billionaires should do it

We're still arguing over Obamacare and people actually LIKE that.

Truga posted:most car makers aren't putting nearly enough into electric vehicle r&d to stay relevant once internal combustion goes out of fashion in big cities, which is going to start happening pretty soon, many big cities are already putting heavy restrictions on what you can or can't drive in the city, in preparation of completely removing them. lol no the fact that you think tesla *is* ev r&d is a greatexample of the ~~musk effect~~ tesla has done some actual good r&d but other car companies have been doing good r&d for years too, and are waiting for better market conditions to push their BEVs out more aggressively. currently nobody wants to pay what a good BEV or FCEV costs but the big car companies are still researching lowering those costs and improving range in the meantime because they know it'll be big in the near/intermediate future. tesla on the other hand had an admittedly clever strategy of making theirs a fancy electric sports car so that really rich ppl would buy it despite the excessive price, but do not let that make you think that they have succeeded where the big car companies have failed - all BEVs still have the same basic problems of being really expensive, short in range (or even more expensive, as in the cas eof the tesla), and slow to charge kinda like when the prius came out, everyon thought toyota had basically invented the hybrid car, even though there had been very good hybrids for a while already that just weren't as flashy about it

We're still arguing over Obamacare and people actually LIKE that. Well, thanks to Obamacare we have even blood red states expanding their socialized healthcare programs. Let them all adopt it and then change the messaging to steal their base away from them imho. Obamacare is a mobo with a slot labeled "UHC", it's just a matter of convincing people to buy the card

One of the fundamental and crushing flaws of the EV market right now is that you have to be in a dense urban center to benefit from them, OR a wealthy homeowner. I know people who talk up and down about how they're the future and blahblah but then I say to them, "I live in an apartment complex, how do I make an EV work for me?" and there's no response I do believe they're the future, but we have to push for the infrastructure for them to be viable first, but tech companies will skip that part because it means more taxes for them
