GP argument is Elon's position as well that technology does NOT inevitably advance forward.
We forget how the Egyptians built the pyramids, or how the Romans built the aquifers or even how to land on the moon.
Unless we're actively working to improve and to build on top of prior advancements, technology will not inevitably advance.
- samatman 4y agoGPs post is two sentences and one of them is about the Concorde. I believe it was fair to stick to explaining why that isn't especially germane to electric autos; it isn't. Neither are ancient burial mounds, moon landings, nor in fact the Roman ability to build underground lakes, which we will never recover since they were unable to do so. I know you meant aquaduct but of course California has put the Romans to shame in that department.
