There is a class of problems that I've become accustomed to being forever in the future.

- Nuclear Fusion - AGI - Driverless cars - Quantum Gravity - Carbon Nanotubes

There appears to either be a problem where these are either convenient money sinks, problems that are missing key break-throughs or missing critical technologies. Nuclear Fusion would be easy if we had 400T magnetic fields and the structures to support them.

We seem to be missing a critical cultural element required to drive these types of innovations - or we are missing the slow tooling, process, and incremental innovations required to support these technologies.
