That's a bizarre take. Something doesn't have to be useful forever to be of use. And mechanical printing presses were probably one of the most significant inventions ever, even if they're obsolete now.
This a reasonable comment to make about the entire economy. Just role play “creating value” for rent seeker investor class.
Very little of what we accomplish will live into the future. See rotary phones, mechanical printing press… all obsolete despite being bleeding edge technology at some point
In that little emotional void where religion once lived we now store an obligation not to god, but earn an atta boy from a prior generation that doesn’t seem to care about the risk to our future lived experience they’ll not be around to navigate.
Physics is ageist. Instead of acknowledging the obvious lived experience we’re chanting 1984 like cognitive dissonant memes; hustling for the old rich is freedom!
Hmm pretty sure freedom from the prior generations fiat decree they rule is freedom.
