I flew for the first time on a plane last week and I’ve seen planes take off at the airport. It looks crazy. But being on one is totally different like holy shit. The thing just FLIES. It just… Soars… Through the sky! Like whoa man. Wtf… It’s crazy. With how much these things weigh, it’s insane to me the thing can just go up and bam, there we are, we’re flying now. Like wow… Dude crazy.
Not possible.
Most manufacturing of things like computer chips (just the chips themselves) require raw materials from all over the world. You can’t just use any sand. 10M people is just a little more than the population of NYC.
I would like us to be trying to change that and not to make things more and more centralized. Because that kind of civilization will fail.
