    I don’t think there’s any possibility of a good future. I’m an engineer and have worked in some high fields on some crazy stuff. I’ve watched millions of dollars just disappear in an instant, many times over. All completely unnecessary. This was hardware a decade ago. Now there’s 10x that going into software. Homelessness, hunger, poverty, across the globe, could have been eliminated a long time ago.

      My (top-level) comment touches on this. Our species has the capabilities to do immense good, yet we have thoroughly squandered it to satisfy the greed of a few.
