Ah Kant, Marks?etc. Those nutty Germans!
Economies ?unexpectedly? change; after that power and control flip into the hands of a new elite with new expectations and new values.
Say this BFR project works.
What are the values of the decision making elite controlling the first ?public? phases of this project?
I?ll take this space to reject the arguments of those who feel given the success of the BFR change will be slow and integrated.
Historically, for a change like this the center does not hold. And folks that think when an economy changes nothing will happen become quickly disillusioned and/or disemboweled.
So?given what we know about the IP owners, the current clients and the implications of success (those we can think of) how will society reorganize itself? How will core values change? Who will be the new power holders? Is the little guy going to get screwed or will the little guy be better off?
To put it another way; what is the world going to be like when the Baby-Boomers are finally deposed?
