The article itself even calls out "Technology often allows us to do things we hadn’t even thought of, but sometimes it encourages to keep acting out old patterns, only faster. Instead of correcting past mistakes, we just commit them with more destructive efficiency" and that is exactly what the Hyperloop is: acting out old patterns faster. Hyperloop isn't an inflection point, it's an anchor of the past with a modern shine to it.  Nothing more.
