This is not absurd: 3D printing is a possible (next) stepping stone towards enabling this long-time dream.
The problem rather is (as very, very often) the huge amount of red tape and regulations that prevents individuals from experimenting with such ideas and bringing them forth.
So, if you look for the root of an evil in the world, it can often be found in the laws and regulations, and the politicians who passed them.
- notTooFarGone 2y agoYou act like you should be able to 3D print a car and be allowed to drive it. Let's talk about seatbelts - is this another of those damn regulations????! How about airplane security? I should be allowed to build a helicopter and fly to new york! God damn gubbernment. On the day any of that is allowed I built my hut and leave society for good.
