  The space example is extremely apt. Its possible we could have had tons of space stations, a moon colony, maybe even some other stuff going on around the solar system, asteroid mining, etc. But thay would have at least required the space race to continue longer and for spending to grow to create a big enoigh industry to ensure thay outcome, assuming no capacity or time issue. Alas, we took another path.

  Something that seems important to us might not matter in even 10 years, or at least, not have a monetary and/or societal incentive to keep advancing.

  American Libertarians (in case you aren’t familiar or for anyone else with the sentiment) tend to be very conservative compared to lowercase libertarianism as a whole, and especially compared to European libertarianism. Much more focused on classical liberalism, but also more likely to lean towards selfish solutions than community solutions.

  Idk if you’ve had the pleasure of /r/libertarianism on reddit, but that place was always conservative as hell with little room for anyone of the libertarian-socialist persuasion to have an opinion or any desire to come up with group-based solutions.

  Google does a really good job convincing you they care with the shuttle system, cafeterias, break spaces, and otherwise.

  It convinces you to work more than you would otherwise, too (sure, why not finish up that task on the shuttle with WiFi… Hey I’ll just grab food here instead of go home. Food at home cost money anyway… Lemme just finish that thing before heading home now that I’ve had dinner…)
