Capitalism, it was the new hot shit after feudalism, but it just caused colonialism, imperialism, and mass starvation because there has to be an enormous reserve army of labor. It also leads to cyclical economic collapses which impoverish more people at the bottom while enriching people at the top, creating an oligarchy.
Capitalism sounds like feudalism with extra steps.
Crypto
Please specify which “crypto”?
Cryptography is doing just fine, thank you very much. I presume you meant “cryptocurrency” here?
Bitcoin should have led to global currency reform, for a start. That failed. It could still lead to energy reform and other important societal progress. But regulation and other factors are killing it.
Most if not all of Elon Musks ideas. And that theranos thing that’s been in the news.
Which of musk’s ideas were going to be big but flopped? I can’t think of any.
With Elon, it’s easy to give examples, because he could brush his teeth and will claim it’s going to revolutionize everything.
The hyperloop proposed 10 years ago was supposed to revolutionize transportation and get you between SF and LA in an hour. It’s totally dead in the water now.
