[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 5086995, member: 5053"] Here, I'll solve it in one post, and get you retirement by 40. I think most of this stuff is net-bad for society. But that's also irrelevant. Things that are going to happen are going to happen. Once the first Wright Brothers plane left ground, Transatlantic maritime passenger travel was doomed. It wasn't doomed for 30 years, but it was doomed. Once the first internal combustion engine came to life and turned a few wheels, horses and wagons were doomed. It took a while, but time was the only question. These advances are on that scale. I am 1000% confident about what the future holds in this regard, but not because I'm a genius. It's that I believe in money. When something can save hundreds of billions of dollars across industries per year, it will happen. It will be developed. It will win. And regulations and people and everything else will adapt to accommodate it. Period. Things that are that valuable do not fail. Betting on autonomous driving is like betting on the wheel, the airplane, the internal combustion engine, or the internet. They so revolutionize whatever they touch, and there are so many hundreds of billions of dollars to be made, that once proof of concept is very clear and the science is conquerable, it's a done deal. That's where we are. I know for certain that gene editing is going to dominate medicine in my lifetime. I know for certain that the metaverse is going to be 1000x bigger revolution than the internet was. And I know that vehicles will largely drive themselves. The only question is time. Why? Because things that revolutionize society and make/save trillions of dollars do not fail. The amount of brainpower and institutional effort put behind these revolutions is a one way ticket. They will all happen, and more. In 2200, do you really think trucks don't entirely drive themselves? Of course they do. Well, then, it's only a question of time, whether they dominate in 2150 or 2135 or whatever. With a feeder salary at 25, there is no reason you should still be working at 40. The most modest investments into the gene editing companies (NTLA, CRSP, EDIT, etc.) or the metaverse-enabling cryptocurrencies (from MANA to ENJ to small guys like maybe ARPA or IOTX), or the autonomous vehicle companies, or the decentralized finance infrastructure (and their cryptocurrencies), will all pay off in your retirement before you have gray hair. Look into all of them. DeFi will make you retire. Gene editing will make you retire. Autonomy will make you retire. All of it will. It's coming. All of the difficulties or problems you suggest are actual jokes. Seriously, they are laughable. The amount of money saved/gained across industries with this success will grind those 'problems' into dust. Think of all the car couldn't do in 1910? Who gives a crap now? I'll be on a farm with lots of land and chickens, and battery backup with solar, and probably back to an old flip phone. But I'll be retired because all of these revolutions, and the trillions in value they bring, are positively inevitable. Yes, I'm a preloader. I'm a preloader because I made enough money on these revolutions that I only need PT work for benefits until the final millions are accumulated. I'm a low-risk person and I have mouths to feed. So, I keep a job. Betting on the wheel is low risk. Retired by 40. All of these paths will create that. These things are very visible and very obvious. The average person doesn't see them, and then they happen all at once. I give you NYC change in one decade, from having only one car, to having only one horse.
