I agree with you. If we ever want to invent warp drive, a machine that lets us do it much faster ought to be a god send. If there are scientific solutions to our biggest problems, this should be a blessing.
But the risk is of course that the benefits will not be distributed but concentrated to the elite.
That's just fantasy.

That's the part that's being called out as a fantasy.
Which part, the warp drives, ya probably. But other tech advances beyond the human mind? Why would that be?
What is?
Sure, I do not believe warp drive is possible, but it was of course just an example.
