lmao ok

let's just assume that technology will expand in growth forever and isn't limited by finite resources and finite capabilities. because technology is equivalent to God, right? you can literally do aNytHiNg with technology we just need to put all the capitalisms into it and there you have it, epic utopia of unprecedented proportions.

come back when you're actually a research scientist and know how hard this shit is.

Please tell me you understand sarcasm

(Retro)futurism has always been reactionary.
>Imagine if all the shit that only exists because capitalist exploitation is the system of production. Commuting to an office, driving to your suburban home, shopping in supermarkets.
>BUT everything looked all streamline and shit.

America's future was always a facade made of stucco and chicken mesh.

What’s funny is that highway project got canceled when urbanists that actually understand the concept of dense walkable cities nuked that idea because it was stupid and since then only more rail lines have been made while NYC itself is physically the same size as it’s always been. Makes you think about how much better things could be…

It will be far more lame.
- There won’t be flying cars
- There won’t be robots everywhere
- Public transit will suck
- There won’t be Japanese neon advertisements (that’s cultural appropriation and techno-orientalism!)
- You won’t be able to even eat chow mian (that’s also cultural appropriation!)
You won’t even have the cool shit you see in dystopias. You will have smaller or faster computers and phones but that’s pretty much it.
