WIth self-replicating machine systems, and robot swarms, we don't need to wait 50 years, and we're not limited to 28x today's industrial level. We can have anything we like TODAY!


No, we can't have "anything we like TODAY!" because you're a nutter who
doesn't understand that your imagination is running away with you. That
is, unless someone, somewhere, has actually figured out how to make a
completely self replicating machine. But I'm guessing you don't have a
cite for that, do you?
