The Cybertruck has been in the news lately because all of them got recalled due to having issues with, uhh, stopping. This was the sign I needed to unburden myself. Yes, I kinda like the Cybertruck. You happy?
Let me be clear, I think the truck is ugly and stupid. Tesla corporate culture is horrifying. Work conditions are abusive. I hate everything. Setting that aside, I only mean my very slight affection from the perspective of how different the design is vs other things out there. I really appreciate that, because that's critical for our society to move forward.
It's like fashion shows. Also extremely stupid, but somewhat necessary to keep things progressing. Otherwise we're all wearing victorian dresses still.
SO!
I'm curious - are there any more examples of products or inventions that are so outlandish (whether it's stupid or innovative or way too advanced for our time) that one can't help but to admire the hubris in a tiny way?
