My OP was only about the technology and technological incentives.

Of course that's terrible, but again my post was about advances in tech. Pollution is a worldwide problem.

I've never seen that in person fortunately, but from what I've seen of it on TV it looks terrible for sure. One of my friends travels to China every year or so and tells me horror stories about the pollution.

Again, terrible, but this isn't limited to China. Human Sex Trafficking as a world-wide problem.

I know it sounds gross, but maybe it's not bad after all. Cultured meat as its now being called, has No saturated fat, no heme iron, no growth hormone, and seems to have lots of benefits. Animal meat, if you eat too much of it, increases risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer especially if you char it.
Don't get me wrong - I've never tasted cultured meat, but I would. I think they would have a hard time selling it to me, but if the science ads up, I might buy a few steaks and toss them on the grill.

But what about the Jerbs? And do you not realize that Trump just handed this to China? He literally made it much easier for China to excel at all of these things, including jerbs.

LOL. Dude, this thread is about technology. Sorry you lost your brother in WW2, but again, completely different topic.

I like green tech. I like AI. I like space travel, and Mars. I love physics and everything to do with the quantum world. I like technology. And I like to share information about technology.

You negate what you don't like. Why can't I have the same privilege?

No dude not at all. While technology can be used for good and bad, the simple fact it can be used for good is an important reason to explore, learn and grow.
In all of your posts on GFY you always seem to be depressed, and really missing all of your yesterdays. That's too bad and I'm sorry, but to me, the future, at least as far as technology goes, is bright, beautiful, exciting and interesting.
Peace!
