Would anyone care to refute this point?

Sure. In a way.
Bob, HOW are we at all close to removing a "geographic need for food mass-production", whatever the fuck that means? Do you mean that we soon won't be limited by soil status, weather and temperature conditions and the like? Because the main issue is space, always has been. Slight powerlevel here, but I live in rural Australia, and my job is food production. If you don't know what budding is, you most likely don't care so I won't go into it. But our company goes all around the nation working on farms and making plants grow the right kind of fruit or vegetables. We've even worked a few months in California, believe it or not. I doubt Bob knows every single fucking thing he eats that isn't an animal or made of sugar was once a budded tree, so I doubt he'd realize this simple truth either.
Farming communities don't choose to build cornfields and apple orchards instead of high-rises and banks because they like the natural look. It's because you need a fuckbillion acres of land to grow food. Thousands of thousands of acres of land, worked and cultivated obsessively. Last year I was personally responsible for 1.5 million trees producing food, and each of my coworkers still did more than me. We each walked a larger surface area than New York City, and the job was still split 7 ways. And Australia only has 24.13 million people to the US's 323 million, with almost the same area when you discount Alaska. I'm no math scientist but the way that works out in my head is that the US would, ergo, need a lot more food production in a similar sized space.
Bob, buddy, even if we could grow food at ten times the efficiency that we could now, the fact remains that we'd still be in a food crisis worldwide. You seem to have completely forgotten that people below the line of middle-class white Americans are starving right now, and those people should be the first to reap the benefits of increased foot output. Your Superior Future doesn't account for them, of course, because you only care about destroying your enemies rather than uplifting your so-called allies. You have, and for the first time in my life I'm using this unironically, a disgusting amount of privilege. If you think that the only thing holding back your glorious future is that we're using too much space ensuring people like you can stuff themselves and grow fat while millions starve, and that once we bulldoze the wheat fields for performance art pieces we'll have a utopia, you're even more naive and ridiculous than I thought.
