Historically, every time there's been a push towards progress, there's also been a push back by all the cockroaches that consider tradition the ultimate model for self expression, which is where we are now. Usually after some violent struggle of a variety, the progress wins out eventually. Hopefully this is not an exception, but we might not see it in our lifetime.

It would be like Musk trying to win a game of Factorio, without any help. I am down for it.
