Science fans: Here's a speculative timeline of what happens in the future to humanity.

[Crakface]

Well, that's debatable. Treatments that greatly slow and outright stop aging will come out within our lifetime, assuming that you're in your 20's or younger. Eventually, with enough luck, transhumanism will allow you to become cybernetic, or possibly take on some other form that will eventually grant the immortality that you need so that you may continue to bless future forums with your 100 star threads. At least I sure hope that's what happens.

You think you're gonna be able to afford that? Based on this story, population control is pointless and would clearly be a white supremacist agenda.

 

[Crakface]

We've made it this far, somehow. I hope that we don't fukk it up.

Well its all up to white supremacists to either get out of the way or destroy the planet. Hopefully enough people have influence to create insurrections among whites so someone gets rid of the racists that are holding humanity back from reaching its true potential.

Interesting stuff here

Human-like AI is becoming a reality


First thing I thought was the matrix smh @ myself lol

I know. It makes you kinda wanna become half machine, right?

Beyond 10100

The dark era of the universe*

The last remaining black hole has evaporated.

From this point onwards the universe is composed only of photons, neutrinos, electrons and positrons – with no way of interacting with each other.

The universe continues to expand forever... but is essentially dead.


What a sad ending. Then, God hits the big bang again. Pow.

Well, the idea behind this is that we don't overcome the law of entropy. If we do, then the universe doesn't end like that.

I certainly hope I can afford it. I have a sneaking suspicion it would end up more accessible than many would assume.

I've been asked this before, and i'm still 50/50 on it .. half of me would want to stay 100% human, while the other weighs the benefits of basically enhanced everything, and probably extended life

It seems awfully optimist.

The nanotechnology of recent decades has conferred powers to citizens that would be considered superhuman by 21st century standards. These upgraded "transhumans" could perform feats regarded as Godlike to denizens of earlier times.

A suitably upgraded individual - if transported back to the year 2000 - would be impervious to weaponry and nearly impossible to contain. They could morph their body into a seemingly infinite variety of forms depending on the situation encountered.*

If trapped in a maximum security prison, for instance, they could alter their own molecular structure, allowing them to walk through walls.* They could broadcast electromagnetic pulse waves to disable electronic devices, vehicles and other objects. Bullets and other projectiles would pass through them with no effect. Microscopic cameras, distributed throughout their body, would function as an all-round 360° sensor - covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum and making it impossible for an attacker to surprise them.

They could sprint at lightning speed and cross a variety of dangerous terrain types: even molten lava would present no obstacle to them. If necessary, they could levitate from ground level to the roof of a skyscraper in seconds. They could turn themselves invisible, morph into another person entirely, or stretch their limbs like elastic.

In many ways, they would resemble a comic book superhero or video game character.

They could manipulate their environment in various ways, generating enough body heat to light a fire, for example, or turning inanimate objects into advanced nanotechnology tools, or modifying the properties of liquids. They could heal a wounded person just by touching them. They could read thoughts and emotions, or extract recent memories.

If standing near others of their kind, they could link and combine their powers to even greater levels – harnessing the power of local weather, for example, or lifting objects weighing thousands of tons.

Their sensory capabilities would be phenomenal. This 24th century person could view individual atoms with the naked eye; or if they wanted to, use their telescopic vision to see distant astronomical objects. They could hear a whisper from miles away, or filter specific voices from a cacophony of background noise. They could determine a precise chemical composition just by tasting, touching or smelling it.

Due to their various biotechnology aids and physical upgrades, they would never require sleep. They could even survive without food and water - living instead off the energy of their surrounding environment, which would be absorbed into their photosynthetic, piezoelectric skin. This same external layering would keep them at peak levels of physical performance, as well as shielding them from the elements.

In fact, many citizens of today have abandoned their homes altogether and taken to a nomadic lifestyle, for this and other reasons. Often, a "home" of today is little more than a small booth or alcove in the street, where a person can temporarily recharge and recuperate, or utilise the greater powers of the net. Even a person's body is often temporary, as they shift between various real world and digital environments. Much of the Earth is now being transformed into a gigantic computer grid where individuals can physically "plug" themselves in.

Not everyone has opted to make this transition. Even now, there are segments of society which are adamant in maintaining a natural, minimally upgraded human body. These people are now a definite minority, however, given the practical immortality and other benefits offered by transhumanism.

All that in 280 years from now?

They can't even find a cure for baldness after how many years of research?

Anyone interested in this site would prolly also like www.darkroastedblend.com

 

[stealthbomber]

yeah i remember being high as fukk about a year ago and reading almost that whole website

trippy stuff, really makes you appreciate your time alive and remember that who gives a fukk

honestly

why be scared to do things in life

YOU WILL DIE

make the most of it while you're here

don't be a dikkhead to other people and enjoy this fukking awesome world we're in

hopefully we haven't already fukked it up beyond saving for future generations but we're here so enjoy it and do cool things

I can see it happening pretty easily. There's been lots of advances in the 20th century alone.

I saw this already. Dope shyt

I personally just find it really exciting. Especially the superpowers part.

Nothing about a cure for cancer or AIDS ?
