That is mostly caused by the meat industry though.

Yes, tell me of a scenario where the decision to not release it to the public stops any of the above entities from developing it.

I would say the active camouflage would be the least useful thing among this list. Developing space technologies on such a scale is sure to give a return on terrestial life, creating living space on or beneath the ocean has obvious advantages, as have solar and wind power clusters in appropiate locations.

Perhaps the holodeck thing is actually the least useful, but even that is creating massive technological progress from the sub-technologies required to get there.

100% doubt, but I can't imagine the madness that would bring.

Although I myself dislike Capitalism and grew up myself in USSR, and agree that USSR did achieve quite a bit of successes in a short period of time, the same can be said about Asian "miracles" of 1970s and 1980s. USSR has never been a Socialist country, the whole purpose of its existence was to sustain the Russian Empire. USSR was Russian Empire, with different decorations,some sprinkles of ideology and not much more to it. All the other Asian "socialist" countries countries you brought are just good old corrupt kingdoms of their leader, or in case of China an Empire in disguise.

People won’t write long messages anymore after they get used to how accessible the most complex of information will be. It will get that good.

You’re big into Nietzsche, sounds like.

Massive futility..... :)

Pessimism in outlook MUST be accompanied with optimism of the will..

If you want this list to be "well fleshed out" you should give some reasoning behind each suggestion.

Correct but some people are allergic to scalpels... How quickly a body could transition from one material to another is a valuable quandary to wade through and whether the body would adjust to the new reality without issue is another entirely; if aging were not a problem, old men would out-compete young men in any dating pool as they would quickly recover from hormone deficiency and production issues...

Can I put shrimp in the tanks and place the concept on my roof, that I may enjoy sushi on a monthly basis?

Would go great with my quail-egg sandwiches...

Good points. Our primitive aspects are real. My hope is to get them out in the open to be examined. Just as man has always struggled, man also shows consistent capacity to slowly improve morally. It doesn’t happen by itself. It happens thru ideas and leadership that grow into movements that turn into change. There have always been the cynics and there have always been the idealists. There is massive futility in both, but less so for the idealists and dreamers, who rightfully own all the positive changes that have occurred in history, and when you add them up, you must admit there are MANY. Today’s idealists are no different. Most of us are spitting in the wind, but it is the combined efforts of millions that lead to the few whose names are associated with change. Which team are you on: that’s the only remaining question.

Your point about the mechanics of rhetoric and confirmation bias is astute. Articulating the problem is half of finding a solution, so you’re doing good work. Thank you.

Homo Economicas... Unfortunately issue fatigue has become the rule any compelling argument ends up attached to someone who tells us what we want to hear not what we need to hear.... they cant get elected otherwise.

I believe that this ironically the reason we have extremism the dialectic is out of whack with real world needs..

Dont forget "the will to power" and our primitive aspects.

There was an episode of Black Mirror that I believed summed this up quite nicely. It's going to suck.

Ideally yes!

You need massive amounts of air moving through the solution to the CO2 problem and that is the issue.

Same thing with all these "water from air" things that pop up time and time again. Sure air contains both water and CO2, but the concentration at any give point is minimal so you need massive amounts of air moving through the system at all time for there to be any CO2 to scrub from the air which is the problem.

The Industrial Revolution and automated production lines didn’t stop capitalism. It just adapted. I see it doing the same here.

Immortality is a hard thing to achieve when you involve statistics.

Good grief

Let those countries implode under the weight of 80% unemployment.

might as well just ban it then, which isn't going to happen. or AI developers will move to countries with low or no tax and your country will become irrelevant in terms of economy and technological advancement

Rule 2 - Submissions must be futurology related or future focused.

kind of ironic you mention matrix lore but then go on to list the same kind of rules and treatment of robots that led to humans being annihilated by robots in the first place lmao
