We live in a time when there is no money for general healthcare (a bloated inflationary system), no money for education (ditto), no money for retirement (ditto), no money to promote entrepreneurialism, et al, ad nauseum.

And yet there’s ready money to build Large Hadron colliders, and the next gen of the same, and Webb and Hubble telescopes. Projects which generate no revenue. And doubtless money to fund countless other scientific projects not tied to a verifiable income stream.

This tells me - at the point I’ve reached in my life - that these advanced, expensive “humanitarian” projects being funded are ones that move forward Defense projects already underway.
Not the school-children Neil Degrasse Tyson bullshit no country has actual money for.

Which I’d therefore offer means:

DARPA is far, far more advanced than any of us have any idea. They’re fucking around and finding out far beyond University quantum physics.

Just a shower thought….
