- washadjeffmad 6y agoUnless Big Tire has hidden it from us, I don't believe we've created a timeless uberwheel. Until that day, we must continue to invent wheels fit for their limited purposes with the materials and technologies available to us. Put differently, there's a big difference between being able to make one of something once and establishing supply chains for scalable industrialized production and distribution resilient against economic and availability changes. If we didn't have more than one way to make wheels from scratch, one day we might wake up to find we no longer have a way to make them at all.
