Evolution of Accelerationists
TFP - total factor productivity
1920-1973 was greatest growth in the USA. WWII was only time of noncomplacency.
1960s started skepticism - Carson, Nader
Now it's hard to do things that are unsafe. We didn't care in WWII.
Ex FAA - one problem is that we are too stringent, so Experimental Aircraft came out, which was less safe.
