Since author is so preoccupied with class, sexism and progressive issues, I wonder how consent culture was in hunter gatherer communities. If a women said no to big-muscle-abe, did it mean no?

Good thing author doesn't need to worry about their next meal, and has time to write such bullshit.

1990: Soon all cars will have ultrasonic windshield wipers

Still waiting on that.

With FlightRadar24 historical data you already know exactly where regular flights will be, so you just wait there. The only thing left is that the pilot will try to dodge you, but then you have automatic drone control versus human (with low visibility).

I agree with you that this is a high touch attack, a kind of "drone 9/11", versus other low hanging fruits like dropping drones on peoples head.

Already done, 19 arrested, and it's a climate change protest: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-49696973

Today it's basically a week-long project to train a neural network to fly towards a jet engine in a 3D simulation. Then you just need to hook that to the drone control software.

No amount of jamming helps you here, this is radio control off, GPS off, entirely visual "guided missile" approach.

And this approach scales, with 20 drones, 2 drones assigned to each engine, you can engage 5 taking off planes in a row off a busy airport. And you can pick the direction which will make the planes crash in the nearby city.

With a "hire people to do stuff for bitcoin" project (there are several) you can prepare this in a bunch of countries (you just tell them you need some drones setup for an aerial shooting/light show or something).

The future is scary.
