Sorry for being like this but what I like most about that remark is the joyful optimism that there will be a society to power in the first place, and secondly one that can (still) build and operate such technology.

Edit: maybe I’m needlessly pessimistic but I feel societies are much more fragile than they seem. We had it unreasonably good in ‘the west’ for the last 77 years but that time span is so short in the grander scheme of things, it gives a false sense of security.

In some part, due to societal changes, schisms, injustices, the increasing distrust that eats at the foundation of society,

At some point, there may be nothing worth left to power with nuclear fusion.

Although I start to wonder if we should keep powering a lot of things in today’s world. There is so much needless unnecessary madness going on.
