Momentary inconveniences of todays technology and productivity. In our lifetime we will see people go to space with private funds, that not the wealthiest person on earth could have achieved 50 years ago.
- moate 8y agoSure. Cool story. How are you getting that guy from the CAR to Venice using one of the methods you mentioned in a reasonable way? I'll wait while you address the actual line of conversation I was involved in instead of making up sci fi stories about how cool 2050 is going to be.
- learc83 8y agoNot the OP, but wasn't the purpose of this a thought experiment in whether or not it is possible to increase the global standard of living. If so then of course we are talking about what's theoretically possible in a hypothetical future. I don't think anyone was making the claim that it was reasonable to get the average person from CAR to Venice today.
- conanbatt 8y agoIf your point is how to get one guy today that makes 800 dollars a month with a car from where he is in central africa to venice and allow for a middle-class tourist vacation, the answer is 'its impossible'. What a narrow point that is! Useless to make any decision whatsoever.
