The only person who agreed on this was you.

No conclusions were really reached, and since this is a thread about Transhuman Space, a setting on which Memetics are specifically over-the-top, it has about as much clout as a discussion about mind-control psionics in a realistic setting.

The Mary-Sue Party.

That's the opposite of unrealistic as it's been the reality for 150 years.

Again, we never agreed. You're just making assertions and assuming everyone is going to agree with you.

By 2018 they control:

• Presidency.
• Vice presidency.
• House of Representatives 418/435.
• Senate 85/100.
• Supreme Court 5/9.

You could basically say that they have assumed control of the United States of America.
So, In 2018 a miracle happens. One which is unrealistic, because if it were realistic it would have happened in the real world already.

But only for that gadgeteer. As Bill just explained (as I was typing this), if they want to mass-produce anything they either need to raise the entire TL of the society, or have gadgetter.
