If the future is predictable to you, use that ability to make trillions of dollars and then use the resulting power to impact the future. Whining about it on the internet just makes you seem dismissive.

I predict that solar will be used in the future. How do I make trillions with that wisdom? You can only make money with predictions you are right on but others are not.

That was not my intention at all. It was more the child in me that wanted to see flying cars and jetpacks instead of massive adoption of stuff, which has been here for 150 years. I still welcome that it is done.

We've had flying cars and jetpacks for a while now. They're just not economical to implement on a large scale.

You're working on flying cars and jetpacks? That's awesome, yo!

I think the lesson here is that there is no hidden trick, just a lot of work/money spent over a long time frame and not everyone will be successful.
