Imagine small, portable fusion reactors shipped to every home, powering advanced 3D printing machines that can provide for many needs. Imagine the cost manufacturing going down so much that you can afford to live better than today with only 4 hours of work a day while you can devote the rest to leisure and cultivation of the mind.
Imagine the potential of space exploration once we have small portable fusion reactors that can finally allow us to get off this fucking rock.
That's just a sample of what mankind could achieve if we got our heads out of our collective asses.
