Isn't it already ridiculous that we can get to the other side of the world in half a day? It used to be straight up impossible, and then it took months by boat. We're now at diminishing returns, saving a couple of hours.

How long are we going to keep running up this hamster wheel instead of being satisfied with what we have?
