Sounds like you want to smash capitalism! more than you want to destroy Google and Facebook.

I did notice you're not explicitly opposed to reusable rockets; although you seem to have a special place in hell reserved for Elon Musk. Oversight?

Sounds like you have turned engineering into a religion, where no result--under any circumstance whatsoever--should be subjected to the critical faculty.

I don't want to "smash capitalism." I just want to run a Dawkins on your religion.

What a sad spectacle: the delirious lashing out at modern machines, the sarcastic capitals, the unhinged cries of "religion". Next time I chat with Richard we'll have a laugh as I mention how his name is invoked as a shibboleth by rabid Luddites.

Your substantive comments to this site are fine, but your political/ideological battle comments and personal attacks are absolutely not. We've given you a ton of warnings and you've ignored them, so I've banned this account until you indicate that you will use HN as intended in the future. Feel free to email [email protected] if you want to provide that.
