Plastics explosive
Reading Collectible Auto while eating as usual. An article on designers struggling to adapt to the 1973 oil shock mentioned the attempt to use plastics instead of metals, which mostly failed.
For some reason this reminded me of the famous line in the '68 movie. One word, young man. Plastics.
I watched that movie in a theater, and the line struck like a bomb. The audience (who presumably knew it was coming) gasped and groaned and screamed at the line. One of my hippie "friends" had a full-scale breakdown afterward.
What was Deepstate doing? In hindsight it's obvious. Agent Provocateur as always. Deepstate was constantly steering smart youngsters toward abstract careers, ideally working in "social" "science" where we could develop torture chambers and psy-ops and surveillance techniques for Deepstate. The plastics man was there to make plastics look awful.
Plastics, and more generally materials, are where the REAL development of REAL technology happens. Original inventions were finished in 1906. Everything since then has been materials and manufacturing methods.
Deepstate has been running a multi-front war against real culture and real skill since 1946. They know that materials are the key to real tech, so they make materials awful.
The '73 oil shock was the Pearl Harbor of the "global warming" front, designed to make all aspects of manufacturing harder and more risky and less profitable.
