Solar, wind, battery and cures for cancer had significant incremental improvement for the last 20 or so years. What kind of claims wrt to these technologies don’t you think panned out?
- jacquesm 4y agoThe key is incremental. The problem is that every news article about any of that stuff invariably hails things as 'may be revolutionary' and they never are. But I'm perfectly happy with the incremental stuff. I just can't stand the way the news gets hyped.
- jholman 4y agoExactly. To elaborate on my agreement with you.... There's a fundamental tension between "news" and "incremental". Which means that in many many important areas of human enterprise (and progress), the "news" model is fundamentally counterproductive. So don't consume the news. Instead, read a new textbook every year (or however often you can afford to).
