Whether big or small. We all have that one thing from Scifi we wished were real. I’d love to see a cool underground city with like a SkyDome or a space hotel for instance.

    Flying cars.

    Asteroid mining.

    Maybe a Moon or Mars colony.

    End poverty.

    Universal basic income/ post scarcity society.

    Least to most fictional I think.

      We have flying cars. They’re called helicopters. And the limits to us having post scarcity are all societal/political, not technological.

        The limit is skill and discipline.

        Most people can’t even drive a car that is held on the ground by gravity. You want them to…fly?

        Helicopters aren’t exactly convenient personal transport. We could definitely make smaller maybe autopiloted transports.

        Regarding post scarcity, that was the point, we could do it now with enough motivation.

        Yeah I wouldn’t want them with people driving then, I’d definitely want some sort of automation to be in charge especially if there were similar amounts to road traffic.
