“So how do you make all your predictions?” the reporter asked Meyers.
“Oh, only after months and years of study,” Meyers said. “Consider chapter two of Masters of the 22nd Century,” he said, holding up his recently published book. “I had to travel to the COMAC manufacturing facility in China and saw firsthand how the Chinese aircraft manufacturing is progressing today. I spoke with engineers, businessmen, scientists, and educated people of all stripes. And when I put all that knowledge and experience together, and saw patterns in it, that’s how I figured out how the future of aircraft would turn out.”
“And that’s just chapter two, about the flying car,” the reporter said.
“‘Flying car’ is a bit of a misnomer, it will be more like a electric driverless helicopter with 500 tiny propellers,” Meyers said.
“Fascinating, and that’s how we’re going to get around in the future?” the reporter asked.
“Yeah,” Meyers said, confidently.
“One last question before we leave, what career would you recommend for a young person in school right now?” asked another reporter.
“I would definitely recommend cryptocurrency and cold fusion” said Meyers.
