Madman, the problem with Concorde was that it was always horrendously expensive. Given the choice, most people would rather spend 3 or 4 hours crossing the Atlantic than 7 or 8, but the price of a seat meant that most people didn't have the choice. That's why the article says they are looking at a "relatively affordable supersonic business jet".

technology is a false messiah

the eurocentrist concept of progress is mostly mythology

authentic visionaries have always known this

business + technology, like patriotism + journalism, leads us to dead ends

web technicians are contributing to their own obsolescence

automation is not liberation

self-congratulation comes at the expense of someone/something else

web developers are still consumers

articles like this linked are designed for allegiance and indoctrination, yet consumed as something else

beware false prophets

the future only exists in the present moment
