(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-04-06)

The futurists make you start from space 4 on each track, and you do not gain any benefits, bonuses, or landmarks.

Let's say you advance on the *Science* track and reach *Academic Research*. This allows you to gain the benefit (and pay for the bonus), on any advancement track. Do you also gain the landmark? Given that you are already on space 4 and no one else has reached that and took the landmark.
