  1. First off, Musk is a absolute and habitual liar, so playing 5 minutes of him opening his sleazy mouth utterly shoots any further points you might want to make in the foot. But even without him, you're operating on a false premise; that science SHOULD continue to increase exponentially. The curve of human discoveries has been vertical since the start of the industrial age, but like Moore's law or the myth of infinite growth in share prices, that was CLEARLY unsustainable. You can research it all you like, but there's always going to be a maximum capacity for data, or a maximum speed for communication, or a fastest travel speed, or a maximum fuel economy, and the closer you edge towards it the greater the law of diminishing returns imposes itself. The fact is, for the vast majority of endeavours, close enough is good enough. Sabine, I'm increasingly becoming suspicious of your motivations nowadays.
