The problem is that we do not need invention.
Everything you asked for was invented and designed back in the 70s.
It was just never implemented. Patents were bought up so they would never see the light of day.
That "vaunted" Tesla electric car... got a book that describes how to build it that is FIFTY years old.
Lets take one really, really easy thing. Burning garbage for electricity.
With high temperature, two stage burning, you can get almost no emissions and almost complete burning of the trash. And electricity.
But, instead, we get toxic landfills. A disaster waiting to happen.
Because of bureaucracy. The electric companies claim they have complete control over power companies. And the trash company has complete control over the trash. And a joint effort cannot be created because... legal reasons.
We stopped implementing inventions in the 70s.
This is the real problem.
It's all of those unused inventions that are already laying around, all over the internet, that we can put together now. At some point, enough people might reinvent enough things so quickly that there would be no way to stop it. That is my big plan, I'm still working on it.
What areas of "inventing" do you feel is missing?
What are the holes in your plan?
I think you are right, that we have already invented free energy devices, 3D replicators, and anything else that could benefit humanity. I am now imagining that we could use those tools to invent a whole new Earth. I suppose what is missing is the widespread awareness of the power of individuals who could be helping to imagine ways to implement all of the innovations that would change things. That is also the biggest hole in the plan!
Free energy devices cannot become in the public awareness until we will have no thoughts of weaponizing them.
And 3D replicators are just fancy toys. Almost everything one would think to make from them would be easier, faster and cheaper through other manufacturing means. And we are talking 1930s technology.
Well now I just want to delete the post. To reinvent the world suddenly seems impossible. ;)
Nope, don't be going and doing that.
But, i must dissuade you from thinking that startrek technology will save us.
But, i must also dissuade all in thinking we should ask the govern-cement to save us. Or even that they can save us should be struck from our thoughts.
Small, local power is easily within our grasp. Wave power, geo-thermal power, methane reactors are quite doable. Just not easily done by a single person. Or, out of the reach for any but the rich. But, it is not out of the reach of a small group of people. Further, we may be seeing a lot of bitcoin millionaires implementing such.
It is that divided we fall... but, we are trained to follow the govern-cement, which is also destruction. When we think of doing things for more than one family, we think we have to ask the govern-cement. And that is the touch of death.
Is their any inventions you want to see blog posts upon?
