> many people have their hopes invested in the belief that these companies are building a better brighter future OT, but I'm reminded of how many times in recent history that we (as humans) have hitched hope for a better future on some tangential circumstance: - the socialist notion that industrialization would bring about peace, equality and well-being for all - the liberal notion that freedom from tyranny would bring about peace, equality and well-being for all (through trade) - the general notion that airplanes would bring about peace since no-one would be so demonic as to drop bombs on people from the air. Those dreams are now in shambles. I find it prudent to be highly skeptical of similar claims that have not yet been similarly disproved, i.e. - the feminist notion that freedom from patriarchy will bring about peace and equality for all - the popular notion that atomic weapons will end all wars since no-one would be so crazy as to start an nuclear war. I think it's time to hitch our hopes on simply not starting wars, and simply divert our productivity towards environmental sustainability and general well-being for all, instead of waiting for some tangential causations like those mentioned to do the trick, which in hindsight doesn't amount to much more than marketing fluff.
