Well, perhaps you've come to the wrong place. Most tech discussed here, and produced in SV, is basically hijacking people's emotions to click on things. That seems to be where trillions of USD and the world's best engineers are working on.

Which is exactly my point: recalibration. Those resources should be spent instead on real tech that solves real problems.

Making renewables cheaper/more efficient. Advancing lab-meat. Innovation in housing. AI manufacturing to deal with the population pyramid.

Existential things. Not "click this ad".
