Go back to each decade. Read 'predictions'. Now see how many have even come close to true.

I thought the issue isn't that cells are becoming damaged, it's that the DNA is losing its "code" over time? I really doubt we'll have robots that can repair actual DNA

What the fuck would a google engineer know about immortality medical research?? Can I go ask my doctor about C++?

maybe quantum computing and AI will help us crack the inmortality equation, sort of speak, but neither of those technologies are in a state where thats a possibility

Theoretically we can control the entire global environment. The ability to turn back the dial both in regards to global temperature changes to preindustrial levels but could even be used in small sections of land to expand the "natural" world. Turning Siberia into Pleistocene Park complete with currently extinct megafauna.

God, I hope not. Not in the current global environment.

I agree with your sentiment. Honestly, my hypothesis is that some people jump into feasibility debates prematurely as a way to avoid discussing their true feelings regarding the desirability of an outcome. Just a guess! But if this is indeed happening, that's bad. I can't be sure it happens, or know when it's happening. But my essay offers a way to make it impossible to happen, by separating the discussions into desirability first, then feasibility.
I don't see the downside of this. But I realize it’s a contentious issue in some ways, as if I’m accusing ALL dissenters of UBI etc of motivated reasoning. I’m not!
Have you ever sensed you were in a debate with someone who was arguing feasibility or unfeasibility simply because they "liked" or "disliked" the outcome? I think it’s a problem. Curious to hear your experience with this.

From the article:
"Compartir en Facebook Compartir en Twitter Compartir en Telegram Compartir en Whatsapp Enviar por email Tech. What is the 'digital curfew' in the U.S. and how will it curb underage social media use? Tech. Which countries have banned TikTok? Check the full list A former Google engineer has just predicted that humans will achieve immortality in eight years, something more than likely considering that 86% of his 147 predictions have been correct.
Ray Kurzweil visited the YouTube channel Adagio, in a discussion on the expansion of genetics, nanotechnology and robotics, which he believes will lead to age-reversing 'nanobots'.
These tiny robots will repair damaged cells and tissues that deteriorate as the body ages, making people immune to certain diseases such as cancer."

And also, a great number of apartments buildings have a parking where the chargers can be installed.

War is an extension of politics, not economics. Russia didn't invade Ukraine to make money.

It’s revolutionary when it hits the private sector, like microwaves

A proper cure for hair loss. Sure you can take finasteride, but its super bad for males on a hormonal level, and even with its side effects millions of males take it, myself being one of them.

> hydrogen isn't a viable fuel source
It's not a source of fuel. It's a method of storing energy. Hydrogen isn't so much mined as it is produced from natural gas (reformation) or water (electrolysis).

I can't imagine wanting to step foot on that, even if the tickets were free.

It's less of a "source" of fuel and more of a storage method. If you're using electrolysis to make it, you're taking electrical energy and using it to convert water into a store of energy. That has inefficiencies at each step (generation, transportation, storage, and finally in its use.)

Also street lamps in many places. The charging network is a lot more developed in Europe than in other parts of the world, with a variety of companies involved, and every car using the same charging standard.

Most places in western Europe have efficient, effective, and affordable public transportation. Car ownership in the EU is around 0.53 per resident.

Also, “rights are made up”. K so saying healthcare is a right is a made up meaningless statement? Just confusing
