Fingers crossed it can be scaled up as always! I for one do you believe we’ll be able to tech ourselves out of most issues.

I share that belief. With enough energy, almost anything can be solved.

Indeed! Shame we've gotten most our energy for solving self-inflicted problems from burning more and/or different stuff.

No, sudoku is a number based puzzle. You're thinking of Sudowoodo.

Sudowoodo is one of those big speakers that goes on the floor. You're thinking of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

My 99 year old dad said that he felt the current zeitgeist was like when he was a young man & people just got up & did amazing things after WWII.

That's right, most, but not all: And the belief in "tech saves us" will be our downfall in 2050 and the years after.

The belief in “tech saves us” follows the exact same line of belief as saying “believing in tech saves us will be our downfall”. There is functionally no difference between the two, as both act as if it’s guaranteed. The only way for Humans to live through climate change is to keep our options open to tech advancements whilst simultaneously working on lowering our carbon emissions, as acting as if one is wrong and should be preferred over the other is how you get monopolies over the government.

You'll only find immature redditors here blindly downvoting you. These echo chambers will never be realistic about anything.
