What would happen if 70+ years of suppressed technologies became public knowledge overnight?
Well, then 70+ years of economic infrastructure becomes obsolete overnight.
People will panic and scramble to capitalize on the "new" technology and it will lead to a total economic collapse as the wider public attempts to advance too quickly. Government policies, too, become obsolete and the entire nature of public discourse goes out the window.
What if we didn't have to pay for energy? All those energy jobs go bye bye. The flood of unemployment and vagrancy would reach precipice levels. Criminal networks, too, would move on the technology in order to win the war against police.
It would be pandemonium, and a wild west of untold proportions.
While I would like to start experimenting with anti-gravity devices, if the method for production became public, within a week we would see this crony-driven hive of corruption burn down the nation in order to rule over the ashes. They absolutely do not want us to have access to technology that would ensure their control policies become obsolete. If this technology came out, they would not hesitate to use it to take us back to the stone ages.
All throughout history people have said progress would cause loss of employment. If we followed this we would still be riding horses. And the invention of the airplane caused damage to the passenger rails, many had to find other forms of income. We would still be on candle light.
Correct. Every time a new invention takes jobs, people take up more specialized ones. The only way a machine can do complicated jobs right now is if they're designed for that specific job from the ground up and then they're useless at anything else.
It's a simple equation.
