      It's a belief in Techno-Jesus that will solve all our problems so we don't have to solve them ourselves (don't need to do the uncomfortable things we don't want to). Just like aliens, the singularity, etc.

          Ironically the world is full of people who like to think about solutions to problems. But those in power won’t put them to solve those because it’s not part of the political game.

            What if the whole earth, itself, is like, one giant supercomputer, designed to answer the ultimate question, and it's just been running for billions of years?
